Waste management and recycling

Good news! The new trucks equipped with automatic arms are now circulating on the roads of the Acadian Peninsula.

Here are some guidelines to help team members serve you better:

  • The bins should be positioned with the wheels facing the house. (There are arrows on the lid of most bins indicating this.)
  • 10 feet (3 meters) from the edge of the road MAXIMUM (The “bridge” in the yard is a good guide)
  • 1 foot (30 cm) of space around the bin (Fences, mailboxes, 2nd bin, etc.)
  • The use of the 360 ​​or 240 litre wheeled bin model (green or black) available in hardware stores is strongly recommended (similar to the one provided for recycling).
  • Bulky waste (large items) will no longer be collected with regular garbage collection starting today. If you wish to dispose of this type of waste, please contact the CSRPA and it will be collected upon request.

Garbage and recycling schedule:

To contact them:

Household waste collection takes place on Tuesdays. It alternates with the collection of recyclable materials (blue bin).
