The Town of Goderich is moving towards new curbside collection for garbage and organics.
Mayor Trevor Bazinet outlined how collection is going to work during Monday’s town council meeting.
The new service will include bi-weekly solid waste and weekly organics collection.
Bins will be delivered to each address with fewer than 4 units starting on September 9th.
The Town of Goderich and Waste Management will be distributing around 8,000 new carts to the household and businesses that are eligible. Each eligible household will get one cart for waste and one for organics.
The Bluewater Recycling Association is providing carts to each household.
An open house is scheduled for from 3-6 pm at Town Hall.
Curbside pickup starts as of September 23, 2024.
The cost is $150 annually which will be added to each property owner’s tax bill as a special charge. It will be prorated to $50 for 2024 to reflect the September 23 implementation.
Those who rent a single family home should be provided carts through their landlord.
All carts must be at the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on your schedule collection day. Carts must be taken back in from the curb no later than 11:59 p.m. on your scheduled collection day, whether collection occurred or not.
