Garbage Must Be Covered Beginning April

Garbage put out at the curb for collection must be completely covered from April 1 through November 30. Acceptable methods of covering garbage include using nets or containers (metal or plastic) with a closed lid. City garbage cart lids must also be completely closed.

Waste is not permitted at the curb before 6 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. This helps to reduce the amount of litter on 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 the 311 St. John’s app.
