Household Garbage Collection FAQ’s

Proper disposal of household waste and personal items is important as we keep both our families and our waste collection staff safe.

Tips:

• Fluorescent light tubes create the potential for harm if thrown out with regular household waste. Please bring these tubes to the Municipal Services Building for safe and proper disposal Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.
• Medical syringes and lancets should never be discarded with household garbage. Please consult with Labrador Grenfell Health at 925.3381 to discuss proper disposal.

We have two landfills: the Forebay Road Landfill (summer months) and the Trans Labrador Highway Landfill (winter months). Because black bears are often attracted to domestic waste, we open a summer landfill an extra 6 km from the community in our efforts to keep wildlife at a distance.

The Forebay Road Landfill is opened from approximately June to October. Materials such as household hazardous waste and scrap metal are prohibited. Access can be obtained by signing out a key at our Fire & Security Building, 24-hours a day.
