Garbage Must Be Covered Beginning April 1

waste placed at the curb in a waste cart, a metal waste bin and a garbage bag covered in a net.

Garbage put out at the curb for collection must be completely covered from April 1 through November 30. Acceptable methods of covering garbage include using nets or containers (metal or plastic) with a closed lid. City garbage cart lids must also be completely closed.

Waste is not permitted at the curb before 6 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. This helps to reduce the amount of litter in your neighbourhood and on city streets, parks and open spaces.

Access St. John’s is available to residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week by email at access@stjohns.ca or by phone at 311 or 709-754-CITY (2489).
