City of Hamilton Issues Bermuda Day Reminders
The City of Hamilton advised residents and businesses of adjusted garbage collection schedules for the Bermuda Day weekend while also reminding parade spectators to clean up after themselves and follow public safety guidelines along the parade route.
Trash Collection
A spokesperson said, “The City of Hamilton wishes to advise City businesses and residents that garbage collection is scheduled on the following dates during the Bermuda Day weekend:
- Thursday, May 21st – Normal garbage collection will take place for Residents.
- Thursday, May 21st – Last Collection will take place at 5:00pm for Businesses and Bars Only.
- Monday, May 25th – Normal garbage collection will resume.
“All garbage should be placed on the sidewalks or designated garbage areas by the time indicated in the refuse collection schedule which can be found at www.cityofhamilton.bm.
“Please do not place garbage out for collection unless a collection is scheduled for that day.
Spectator Etiquette
“The City would like to remind parade spectators to ensure that after the parade, they take all of their belongings and their trash away with them.
“The City asks those members of the public who have used tape to mark spots [an action which is not endorsed by the City], to please remove it after the parade.
“The City also reminds the public that hot coals or any type of barbeque or similar implement for cooking food are not permitted on City sidewalks.
“As part of this year’s Bermuda Day messaging, the City enlisted the talents of our Town Crier, Ed Christopher, for a fun proclamation featuring a Gen Z-inspired twist, encouraging residents to celebrate responsibly. Through playful messaging, the video highlights key parade guidelines along the parade route, including no drilling into sidewalks, no bulky furniture, no graffiti, no littering, and no early tent setup. The video can be viewed here.”
