📢Public Notice: Garbage Collection Tagging Clarification

The Municipality would like to clarify information related to garbage bin tagging conducted yesterday.

The purpose of the garbage bin tags was to support public education and help minimize overnight placement of waste containers at the curb.

Due to a miscommunication, an incorrect time was referenced on the tags.

In accordance with Bylaw 91-25, residents are requested to place their garbage cans at the curb between 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., ideally as close to 5:00 a.m. as possible. We recognize that some residents work early shifts and may need to place their garbage out slightly earlier.

Garbage collection begins at 8:00 a.m. Please note that operators may adjust their routes from time to time, so pickup may occur earlier than residents are used to. Even if your usual collection time is later in the day, please ensure your garbage is set out by 8:00 a.m. to avoid being missed.

Residents are reminded not to place garbage out overnight, as it can attract bears and other wildlife. Proper garbage storage and placing waste out closer to collection time help reduce wildlife attractants and keep Manitouwadge safe.

We appreciate the community’s cooperation in supporting proper waste management practices.
