Garbage Pick Up

FERO Waste & Recycling Inc. is under contract to The Town of St. Stephen for residential garbage collection.  The agreed collection day is Tuesday and any change in day is subject to Town approval.  However, FERO unilaterally gave notice of change in the Milltown Heights area for pick up on Mondays.

This change is not authorized by the Town and FERO has been notified that the Tuesday pick up day must be continued.
