The upcoming holidays will result in schedule changes for both curbside waste collection and landfill and transfer sites.
Curbside garbage, green bin, and recycling collection in Ameliasburgh Ward will occur on Saturday, December 26 instead of Friday, December 25 and on Saturday, January 2 instead of Friday, January 1. Please have your garbage, green bins, and properly sorted blue box materials at the curb by 7 am on your regular or alternate holiday collection day.
Garbage bag tags can be purchased at a variety of locations across the County when Shire Hall is closed during the provincewide shutdown. The municipality reminds you to call ahead and check if the store has bag tags in stock. For retailers that require additional bag tags to sell, please call 613.476.2148 extension 1023 to arrange for pickup.
To ensure the health and safety of collections and sort-line staff, Quinte Waste Solutions (QWS) is asking that residents who are required to self-isolate due to COVID-19 to either store recyclables until the isolation period has ended or carefully place all material into garbage bags and use their regular garbage collection day for disposal.
