Media Release - Possible disruptions to waste and recycling collection due to weather conditions
Cobourg, ON – December 9, 2024 – Northumberland County is advising that residents may experience a possible disruption in waste and recycling collection today due to weather conditions.
While efforts are being made to minimize disruptions to the collection schedule, some residents in the townships of Alnwick/Haldimand, Cramahe, and Hamilton, and the municipalities of Brighton and Trent Hills, may experience a delay in their scheduled curbside waste and recycling collection due to poor driving conditions impacting collection vehicles.
In the event that your scheduled collection does not occur by 7 p.m. this evening, please remove your waste and recyclables from the curbside and place them out again on your next regularly scheduled collection day. If a delay occurs, curbside waste collection limits will be temporarily increased to four waste bags per household on the next scheduled collection day, in areas affected by the delay only.
Residents with questions regarding the removal of waste and recyclables are invited to email wastedept@northumberland.ca or call the County’s Waste Hotline at 1-866-293-8379.
