Garbage Collection

The Municipality of Powassan offers curbside collection for garbage. Trucks begin collecting at 7 a.m. on your scheduled garbage day so please have all items to the curb by then.

Printed or electronic copies of the current Garbage and Recycle Collection Schedule are available upon request. Please email office@powassan.net. 

Council passed By-law 2023-17 which restricts the garbage bag collection as follows:

• Two (2) bags for a residential dwelling
• Six (6) bags for a commercial dwelling
• Weight restriction for each bag is 40 lbs (maximum)

All items must be inside a bag to be collected, loose items will not be collected.

Tags for extra bags are available at the Municipal Office at 250 Clark Street ($2.00/tag).

Institutions and businesses who require more frequent pick ups can schedule additional pick ups by calling the Municipal Office at 705-724-2813. Each pick up is charged on a monthly basis.
