Efforts at spring cleaning in the city are ramping up with some news about a couple of events that are upcoming.
Scheduled for April 28 is Household Hazardous Waste Day at the city’s Public Works Shop, 11112- 6th Avenue.
Products that should not be going to the landfill – such as chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, rat poison, and other hazardous items are being collected free of charge by the city from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day. For more details on what is being accepted go to www.cityofnb.ca.
Meanwhile, there is word the city’s annual cleanup day, which was originally scheduled for April 20, has been postponed to May 3.
The news was confirmed at Planning Committee by city manager Jim Puffalt.
The reason for the change in date is due to the continued miserable snowy weather that have made for messy conditions in the area. The thinking at City Hall is conditions will be much better in a couple more weeks; advertising about the change in date is being sent out.
