Waste Collection Policy Reminder

Northern Peninsula Regional Service Board (NorPen) would like to thank residents for their cooperation regarding waste collection.

NorPen’s policy on waste collection is curbside (maximum of 10 ft. from edge of pavement).

Employee and public safety must be top priority while providing this service.  Therefore, we are asking residents to respect and support this policy to ensure the health and safety of all involved.

Please note that the focus is the placement of waste to the curb and not placement of bins.  This can be done by using stationary bins, waste covered by a blanket, roll out bins etc. Waste has to be within 10ft of the edge of the pavement by 8:00 a.m. on collection day. 

Please see our website (www.norpenservices.ca) for further information and add your e-mail address to our list of subscribers to receive updates.
