The Kent Regional Service Commission takes charge of garbage collection in its territory*. We want to improve the waste collection service while saving money.
Weekly collection of household waste is made on Tuesday mornings in Richibucto. Waste is separated according to the directives set forth by the three stream programme of the Westmorland-Albert Solid Waste Corporation and must be placed by the side of the street before 4 a.m.
A collection of large items is usually made in May, August and October each year. Branches from trees and bushes must not be longer than 1.5 m (5 feet) and must be tied in bunches no greater than 27 kg (60lbs). Tires will not be picked up.
The Kent Solid Waste Commission coordinates two annual collections of dangerous household waste, usually in the spring and fall. The deposit site alternates between the Kent municipalities and these areas can be found under the hazardous waste section.
