Bluewater Recycling Association (BRA) provides weekly garbage and recycling pick-up in Lambton Shores. BRA uses a co-collection system, meaning both garbage and recycling are collected at the same time, using the same truck.
| Garbage/Recycling Bin Placement |
|
Did you know the loader arms on the collection trucks can reach 10-15' to grab your bin? When it comes to placing your bins by the road, please avoid placing them on the sidewalk, especially during the winter season.
Hitting or pushing bins with trucks, wings or plows is often unavoidable depending on the placement of bins. Keeping the loader arm length, keeping your bin(s) off the sidewalk and away from the immediate roadside can help keep them out of harms way.
