 In the Municipality of the County of Antigonish, RECYCLABLES are collected every second week and are delivered to the transfer station at the Beech Hill Landfill Site.

 Residents are reminded that it is their responsibility to keep garbage/recyclable boxes clean and in usable repair.

 During the winter months, it is extremely important to ensure that snow removal around the garbage/recyclable boxes is undertaken by the residents, to provide easy access for collection.
