UPDATE: Solid waste collection services, including compost and recycling, have fully resumed for residents across Saint John.
With solid waste collection services now being delivered at full capacity, the City advises residents that regular garbage collection requirements are now back in effect.
As part of the regular collection requirements, garbage bag limits are in place. This means that any garbage bags in excess of what fits in garbage carts, or that don’t have Urban Bag Tags affixed to them, need be placed curbside with an Excess Refuse (green) Garbage Bag Tag attached.
The requirement for bag tags was temporarily suspended while the City experienced delays in garbage collection.
