Service Alert: March 25th, 2020 – Covid-19 Pandemic
Waste collectors and municipal staff at the Waste Management Centre are working hard to continue to provide essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please help us in this effort by following the reminders and best practices below:
- If you are sick, place your Kleenex in the regular garbage.
- Curbside collection continues as normal. We encourage using gloves to set material curbside, and using a disinfectant wipe on the handle of your green cart.
- Materials must be curbside and ready for collection by 7 a.m. This is even more important during these uncertain times as staffing levels and routes are subject to change.
- Ensure all of your bags are tied securely.
- Please refer to our guidelines for storing sharps during this time.
- The Waste Management Centre remains closed to the public at this time.
- Due to rapidly changing needs and provincial direction, the best method to stay informed is to register for our automated Service Alerts.
