If you still have large Fiona debris (like tree branches) on your property - just a reminder, to get it moved near the curb for pick-up by the province. Curbside pick-up will run until June 30.

Provincial crews can only pick up curbside debris from private residences, such as homes, cottages, etc. Pick-ups will also occur on private roads, as long as it’s debris from homes and cottages.

Debris will not be picked from businesses, vacant lots or private woodlots.

This large debris pick-up is in addition to the regular Island-wide spring clean-up by IWMC so consult IWMC’s schedule for guidance on the removal of grass, leaves and smaller debris.

This is the BIG waste pick up week for IMAC - Next week is yard waste. https://iwmc.pe.ca/
