With the holiday season approaching, and often more garbage accumulation than usual, the City of Saint John will be allowing one extra bag of garbage per household during the two weeks after Christmas.
Residents on a weekly pickup schedule can place one extra bag of garbage at the curb without a bag tag starting Tuesday, December 26 and ending Monday, January 1.
Residents with a bi-weekly pickup schedule can place one extra bag of garbage at the curb without a bag tag on their regular pickup day, starting Tuesday, December 26 and ending Monday, January 8.
While the holiday season tends to generate more waste, residents and households are encouraged to continue to reduce what they throw in the garbage. A few ways to reduce waste include reusing gift bags, using recyclable gift wrap, composting food scraps and recycling cardboard and plastic packaging when possible.
All Waste Wise program details can be found on the City’s website including an FAQ, bag tag vendor locations and sorting guideSource City of Saint John
