Residential waste collection service in Assiniboia is about to change. That simply means your garbage collection will no longer be done in the manner you are accustomed to. Implementation of this new 鈥榩lan鈥� is set to take effect on Tuesday, March 27, 2018.
Here鈥檚 how this will all unfold: each household in Assiniboia will receive yet another 95 gallon bin, the same size as your existing 鈥榖lue鈥� bin currently in use for recycling. This new bin will be for your garbage only. Colour of this new bin, which will hold approximately 6 bags of 鈥榳aste鈥�, has yet to be determined by the town. From now on, ONLY waste in this new bin will be picked up. Your new bin will be delivered to your home sometime in the near future with an information packet which will explain the new plan and the new collection schedule.
Bottom line:As of March 27, 鈥榞arbage collection鈥� will no longer be weekly, but bi-monthly - meaning, every two weeks. 鈥楶ick-up days鈥� will now be on Wednesdays - for both recycling and garbage containers, but please note: change from the current Monday recycling pick-up will not begin until after your new garbage bin has been delivered to your home. For purposes of waste and recycling 鈥榗ollection鈥�, the town of Assiniboia will be divided into two 鈥榮ectors鈥�. Hence, every Wednesday - from March 27 on - either your recycling or garbage bin 鈥榗ontents鈥� will be collected. You will be expected to know which bin to move to curbside on that day. Curbside garbage collection will be provided by Loraas Disposal, who also collects the town鈥檚 recycling materials.
Town of Assiniboia officials want you to know that - for the time 小蓝视频, at least - there will be no charge for your garbage collection. That is the only thing that has not changed.
Town officials also want you to know that commercial waste collection services are currently under review by town council.
