For information on the new Clear Bag Program for Regular Garbage in the Municipality of the County of Antigonish, please click here.

In the Municipality of the County of Antigonish, GARBAGE is collected every week.

Residents are reminded that it is their responsibility to keep garbage/recyclable boxes clean and in usable repair.

During the winter months, it is extremely important to ensure that snow removal around the garbage/recyclable boxes is undertaken by the residents, to provide easy access for collection.
