Garbage and recycling collections will occur on the same days; however, single stream trucks will be used.
The city of Corner Brook will be rolling on a new approach early in the new year for curbside garbage collection. The contractor will be switching to trucks with automated collection arms. Recycling will switch to a bi-weekly collection, sorted into two alternating streams with Week A for paper and cardboard and Week B for plastics and metals. Kristen Mercer is the city’s Sustainable Development Coordinator. She says these upcoming changes will be accessible and positive bringing Corner Brook up to pace with other communities, like Deer Lake. Mercer says this new way of collection will decrease workplace hazards for those who pick up garbage from the curb.
Garbage and recycling collections will occur on the same days; however, single stream trucks will be used. One truck will collect garbage, and another truck will collect recycling. The change from the current practice is driven by the need to address rising contamination charges at the Wild Cove transfer station.
