Fall Clean-up

Council has set disposal site hours for a fall clean-up from Friday September 11, to Sunday 13, 2015, the weekend after Labour Day. Hours for Friday are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no charge for household waste during these days. Businesses excluded. Items to be burned will be not accepted if a fire ban is in place. Do not put recyclable material in the land fill.

Household Special Waste Facility

This facility located at 115 Industrial Park Crescent in Sault Ste. Marie is open every Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. during the months of May through October. As this facility closes in October, bundle all your special waste together and deliver it to this site prior to the last week in October.

Don’t forget that carbon monoxide detectors are mandatory in every habitable building. Get into the habit of changing batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at a specific time each year. Some use the changing to, or from day light savings time as the occasion to complete this task.
