Update for Residents of Riverside Avenue
Residential Curbside Collection of Garbage and Recycling
Residents are to have their Green Cart and Garbage Bags or Recycle Bags, depending on the collection week, at the curbside before 7:00 am. To ensure your items are picked up, please do not place items on the curbside after 7:00am; as this may result in your items not being picked up. On regular garbage collection weeks, you are allowed to have six (6) clear bags or five (5) clear bags and one (1) black bag and two (2) bulky items as well. On recycling days, you are allowed up to twelve (12) blue bags. If the garbage truck will not have access to your curbside, Dexter’s Construction will be moving the items to a designated area for the garbage truck to pick up the items. Thank you.

Waste Management Communication
- Details
Starting June 18th, Colchester Solid Waste will be conducting residential curbside audits across Colchester County, Town of Truro & Town of Stewiacke. If you see us checking your curbside materials before collection, we are just ensuring that everything is sorted properly.
You may see a “leave behind” that shows whether any issues were found, with some education to help in the future. This is so that we can best divert materials to the proper areas and help reduce contamination rates at our facilities.
Please Note: The little plastic baggies with the information can be used as a litter bag for your car!
