Twice a year Spring and Fall Clean Up comes along and is an opportunity to clear out the garage, the basement, the kid’s room, and so on!  But before you throw things away, why not see if they can be used by someone else!

Green carts are for the storage of organic waste between collections.  If you live in the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg and you need a green cart, please call us at 543-2991 and you may be eligible for a free one along with a mini bin.

Residents who have a long driveway or live on an island may recieve a backyard composter in lieu of a compost cart to divert their organics from garbage. Call the number listed above for further details.  

We acknowledge that you have unique needs when it comes to managing your waste.
