INVITATION TO AN IMPORTANT FACEBOOK LIVE SESSION: New garbage and recycling collections calendar in May 2024

Apr 24, 2024

Remember that 2024 is a year of transition due to the amalgamation of parts of the former St-Joseph and St-Jacques DSLs and the Rivière-Verte sector. By-law 04R2013: Collection and disposal of garbage and recyclable materials was modified by the municipal council in December 2023, to standardize garbage and recycling collection services across the entire territory, starting in May 2024.

As of MAY 6, 2024, all citizens will adopt a new 2024 City of Edmundston's Garbage, recyclables & special collections calendar. A collections calendar will be delivered directly to your home in the week of April 28th, 2024. These changes are due to the redistribution of routes because of the addition of more than 1,000 addresses per type of collection (garbage and recycling). Please note that some addresses will keep the same collection schedule, but some will change days. However, the garbage collection, carried out by Gallant Entreprises Inc., will take place on the same day as the recycling collection, which is now carried out by North West Sanitation Services Ltd. which will make the transition easier.

An informative Facebook Live will be presented by Gary Cyr, public roads coordinator and responsible for collections in the area, this Thursday, April 25, at 1 p.m. on City of Edmundstons Facebook page. He will explain the major changes and answer citizens' questions at the end of his presentation. Please note that this video will be available at all times on the Facebook page, if you cannot view it in real time.
