RecyclingMonster - Residents of St. John’s can now offload any recycling that’s been building up over the past few weeks.

The city will offer recycling collection once a month until further notice beginning April 20. For the next two weeks, from April 20 to May 1, the city will collect recycling at the curb on regularly scheduled pickup days.

There is no limit to the number of bags that can be put out for recycling.

Recycling will be collected from Area A residents April 20-24 and Area B residents April 27-May 1. The next recycling collection for Area A will be the week of May 19-22; Area B will next be collected May 25-29.

“The decision to resume recycling was made to permit residents who have been storing their items for the past month to dispose of them without having to put recyclables in the garbage,” reads a news release from the city on Thursday.

On St. George’s Day, April 20, garbage collection for Area 1 will proceed as usual. Parking regulations will be enforced because it is not a shops closing holiday. Robin Hood Bay is open for commercial and municipal customers only on Monday - the residential drop-off remains closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
