The Town of Rocky Harbour collects Recyclables and Garbage right at your curbside!

1. Recyclables will be collected in transparent blue bags.

2. Garbage has to be put out in clear bags

3. Garbage will be collected weekly while recyclables will be collected every other week.

The Town of Rocky Harbour is providing a mandatory two-stream curb side collection service for its residents. Residents must place their recyclables in transparent blue bags and garbage in clear bags. For recyclables consisting of mixed paper and containers (as per the waste sorting guide) residents are required to clean containers before placing them in the bag to avoid contamination. Recyclables are collected every other week. Recycling and garbage bags are to be placed at the roadside no more than 12 feet from the curb on the scheduled day of pickup.

Any bags containing both garbage and recyclables will not be accepted. The garbage has to be put out in a clear bag and for your own privacy, two small non-transparent bags may be placed inside each clear bag. These garbage bags should be placed in your garbage box/can.

Any changes to the garbage collection will be posted on the town’s website & Facebook page.

The Town of Rocky Harbour also encourages residents and businesses to minimize the amount of organic waste in their garbage by composting. Information on Backyard Composting can be found here: MMSB – Rethink Waste
