Heavy Garbage Collection Update

Municipal staff have completed heavy garbage collection in Zones 1 and 2 (Isle Madame and areas West of the St. Peter's Canal).

Collection in Zone 3 is now underway and is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.

As this year's collection is being carried out by Municipal staff, progress may be slower than in previous years. We appreciate residents' patience and understanding as crews work through the route safely and efficiently.

If your items have not yet been collected and you are located in Zone 3, please leave them curbside until collection has been completed in your area.

Thank you for your cooperation.
