Thunder Bay permits extra garbage item post-New Year’s Day to promote waste diversion
The City of Thunder Bay will allow residents to place one additional garbage item at the curb, untagged, on their first collection day after New Year’s Day. This temporary measure accommodates the increased waste during the holiday season while reinforcing waste diversion efforts. The city encourages residents to rethink wasteful habits, refuse excess packaging, reduce disposable items, reuse and donate, repair instead of replacing, and recycle all eligible materials. This initiative helps manage waste responsibly while fostering sustainable practices. Learn more about this change.
