Update – Delays in Garbage/Recycling Pickups
JUNE 18TH 2019
Hi folks,
Many of you have been asking about the delays with waste pickup over the past few weeks. I too am very frustrated with the level of service Kanata South has been receiving and have been working with the GM of Public Works directly to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding during this period. The latest delays in pickup go back to the fire at Waste Management a couple weeks ago where a number of trucks were lost or damaged. Additional trucks have been brought in, and I had hoped that after the weekend work that had trucks picking up locations that were not done last week, that service would be returning to normal this week. That is not the case and trucks have been running into the evening to make up for the areas that are not getting completed during the day. Right now, we are seeing a day delay in pickups in most areas, however, please continue to put out your waste, recycling and green bins on the scheduled day.
If your garbage has not been collected, please leave it curbside and they will get to it. If it has been more than 24hrs please report to 311 or to me by e-mailing allan.hubley@ottawa.ca , thank you.
