Waste Management Services

In the Municipality of Yarmouth waste is collected on scheduled days.   A 2 blue bag recycling system is used - one bag for paper products and one bag for containers (glass, plastic and metal).  Cardboard can be bundled for collection. Food and other organic waste is collected in a green bin provided by Waste Check.  Other household waste (garbage) is collected in clear transparent bags.

Most paints and solvents, waste oil, corrosive cleaners, strong acids and alkalis as well as house and garden pesticides can be taken to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) depot located at the Transfer Station, 1932 Hardscratch Road.  Hours of operation are Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. 

Electronics such as computers, monitors, TV's, printers, telephones, DVD's, stereos, digital cameras, etc. can be taken to Paper Chase Bottle Exchange located at 10 Hardscratch Road, Yarmouth.  Hours of operation are Monday to Saturday 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.  Phone 902-742-9747.  For a complete list please visit Recycle My Electronics or phone 1-877-462-8907. 

Property owners may choose to drop off separated waste at the Transfer Station located on the Hardscratch Road (limit of 200 kg/week) which must be placed in clear bags. 

If you have any questions on the proper disposal of items, recycling, or regular pickup, please contact Waste Check at 902-742-1312 or 1-800-569-0039 or visit the Waste Check website.

Refrigerators and freezers that are 10 years of age and older, between 10 and 25 cubic feet and in working condition are eligible for pickup and rebates from Efficiency Nova Scotia.  Non-working appliances do not use electricity and therefore are not eligible for pickup and rebates.  To schedule a pickup call 1-888-303-2103.  For more information on eligibility, pickup or recycling, please visit the Efficiency Nova Scotia website.
