The Town of Channel – Port aux Basques wishes to advise all residents that household garbage is required to be placed on the curb for pickup prior to 8:00 a.m. in the morning. Garbage put out for collection must be in a closed container, or covered with a type of netting or other material.
Garbage placed for collection shall be covered with a weighted, solid colored, nylon or polyester net with a maximum mesh size of 25 mm x 25 mm or other type of weighted covering acceptable to the Town.
Nets and other type covers used for the covering of garbage shall be designed and maintained in a manner acceptable to the Town so as to ensure they provide adequate coverage, cannot be blown off the garbage, are easily removable by the garbage collector and do not blow away once the garbage has been removed.
The metal or plastic containers used to contain garbage placed for collection and nets used to cover garbage laced for collection shall be removed from the curb or street no later than 8:00 p.m. on the day which the garbage was placed for collection.
Household garbage placed at the curb that is not covered will not be collected. If uncovered garbage that is placed at the curb happens to be scattered around by wind or animals, the property owner will be responsible to immediately clean it up. Failure to do so will result in the Town undertaking the cleanup and charging the owner a cleanup fee.
Collection of garbage and refuse shall be at least once in every seven (7) days, commencing at the hour of 8 o‘clock in the forenoon (8:00 a.m.), or seven thirty (7:30 a.m.) during summer months, provided however, that when a public or statutory holiday occurs on a collection day, such collection may be made on the next following working day, unless otherwise specified by the Director of Public Works or his designate.
Residents are reminded to keep the sidewalk by their property clear of debris and grass cuttings.
