Sarnia residents may notice their garbage picked up at a different time of the day after the city’s waste contractor updated its routes.
The collection dates haven’t changed, but residents are reminded to set out materials after 6 p.m. the night before, or before 7 a.m. the day of collection.
Large items will be picked up the first full week of every month. During large item/bulk collection week, the three-garbage bag limit still applies. Assembled bulk items like chairs, couches, tables, mattresses, and bed frames can be placed at the curb for collection.
Unacceptable large items include electronics, commercial and industrial-sized items, auto parts, building and construction materials such as toilets, sinks, vanities, windows, drywall, lumber, ceramic tile, broken concrete, asphalt and doors.
Unacceptable items are the responsibility of the homeowner to dispose of. They can be brought to local drop-off locations. Contact Transco Recycling 519-332-4045; Waste Depot 519-333-8252; or Curran Recycling 519-332-0849.
