| Clear Garbage Bag Program | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen is launching a new Clear Garbage Bag Program for 2021. This mandatory program has shown to have a positive impact on keeping recyclable materials out of landfills while helping to protect the environment. Keep it simple. Sort your recyclable materials properly, compost when possible, and throw away the remaining waste. Protecting our planet is important for our present and for our future. Bag tags will continue to be required for disposal of garbage in a clear bag, or just a privacy bag for both curbside collection, or at the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Transfer Stations. Important Dates
This is the unofficial start to using clear garbage bags for household garbage. Residents will begin using clear garbage bags for their curbside collection and for disposal at all Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Transfer Stations.
This is the official start to using clear garbage bags for household garbage. Recyclable material must be removed from garbage bags. This becomes mandatory for curbside collection and for disposal at all Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Transfer Stations. How to begin: Program begins! The unofficial Clear Garbage Bag Program begins January 1, 2021. The official Clear Garbage Bag Program will become mandatory July 1, 2021. Sorting your material! Properly sort your recyclable materials into your blue boxes (fibres bin and containers bin). We highly encourage composting when possible either in your own backyard or by taking your loose compost and organic materials to the 6th Line Transfer Station. Place all other waste into your clear garbage bag. If your bag contains more than 10% recyclable material, collectors have the right to refuse it. Placing your materials curbside! Garbage may be set out for collection in the following ways:
If you only produce as much garbage as would fit within your privacy bag, the privacy bag can be left at the curb for collection or dropped off at the Transfer Station without placing it inside of a clear bag. Garbage tags are required for a privacy bag on just as they are for a full (30lbs) clear garbage bag.
