MUNICIPALITY OF THE DISTRICT OF GUYSBOROUGH
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS
Re: Waste Collection Routes and Schedules
On Wednesday, November 4th, Guysborough Municipal Council reviewed a report on waste collection and passed a motion authorizing staff to amend the waste collection program including collection routes. (The current routes were implemented in 1985 and since that time Canso and Mulgrave have been added to our program).
The amendments include:
1. Waste collection will be scheduled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., four (4) days per week Monday to Thursday.
2. Waste not collected on holidays or storm days will be collected the following week. (Example: If recyclables and organics were to be picked up on Monday and that collection is cancelled due to a holiday or storm, then the recyclables, the organics and solid waste (clear bags), will all be picked up on Monday the following week).
3. Collection routes will be amended commencing Monday, November 30th, 2020 (to balance the number of collections for a four (4) day collection schedule) as follows:
*Information flyers will be delivered directly to residents with route collection changes.
