Waste Collection COVID-19 Update:

The County of Brant waste collection crews continue to pick up blue box material and garbage on the regular schedule. Their efforts on behalf of our community are appreciated more than ever during this time, and we want to keep them healthy.  While crews have their own health and safety procedures in place, they have asked that we take these extra steps to help protect them on the job.

• Ensure used tissues and napkins are placed in the garbage
• Put all garbage in securely tied garbage bags, not loose in garbage cans
• If you are sick, place any item that has come into contact with your mouth, nose or eyes into the garbage. This includes items you would normally put in the blue box, such as water bottles, pop cans, juice boxes, etc.

These steps will help protect the health of crews who handle thousands of bins, bags and boxes each week. We all have a role to play and by working together we can make a difference. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
