The Department of Waste Management has announced the garbage and recycling collection days over the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays.

West End garbage will be collected on Monday, December 21, and Christmas Eve. East End garbage will be collected on Tuesday, December 22, and Wednesday, December 23. Recycling in the East End will be collected on Wednesday, December 23, and recycling in the West End will be collected on Christmas Eve.

The following week, West End garbage will be collected on New Year’s Eve and Saturday, January 2. East End garbage will be collected on Tuesday, December 29, and Wednesday December 30.

The Ministry of Public Works advises that these dates differ from those listed in the 2015-16 Garbage and Recycle Calendar. A revised version of the 2016 Garbage and Recycling Schedule will be mailed to each household and PO Box Island-wide in the New Year to reflect these changes.

The Tynes Bay public drop-off will be closed on Christmas Day.
