Residents of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg won’t have to wait six months to kick their oversize trash to the curb.
The Municipality is doing away with the Spring and Fall large item garbage collection.
The twice a year pick up meant residents didn’t have to take it upon themselves to get those items to the dump and pay the tipping fees.
Mayor Caroline Bolivar-Getson says that will change under the new waste contract, approved earlier this spring.
“Every time the garbage truck stops every two weeks in our municipality you will be able to put a large item out. So that if your fridge breaks down right after spring clean up you don’t have to store that fridge.”
Bolivar-Getson says sometimes people won’t go the extra mile to bring their garbage to the dump.
“Hopefully this will help in the aspect of illegal dumping. I know that at the waste site, they’ve been working very hard from an educational point of view.”
Bolivar-Getson says she’s unclear if there will be one last spring pick up.
The changes are scheduled to come into effect April 1, 2020.
