Garbage Must be Covered Beginning April 1

Residents are reminded that garbage placed at the curb for collection must be completely covered from April 1 through November 30. Acceptable methods include using nets or containers (metal or plastic) with tightly closed lids. City-issued garbage cart lids must also be completely closed. 

Waste is not permitted at the curb before 6 a.m. on scheduled collection days. This helps to reduce the amount of litter in our neighbourhoods, streets, parks and open spaces. 

Access St. John’s is available to residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week by email at access@stjohns.ca, by phone at 311 or 709-754-CITY (2489) or by submitting a request online at StJohns.ca/Access.
