Residents on four local roads in the District of Lunenburg and Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, experienced delays in their trash collection after crews missed several stops during a makeup pickup day on February 28, 2026. The missed collection affected homes on Stanburne Road, Conrad Road, George Whynot Road, and Colpton Road.
This specific pickup was organized as a special Saturday service to replace collection dates that were cancelled by a snowstorm earlier that week. South Shore Waste Solutions reported that the missed roads would be serviced later in the day on March 2, 2026.
The service is operated by the Municipal Joint Services Board and serves the local region. Residents who were missed were encouraged to check for updates through the R6RECYCLES app or by calling the regional waste hotline to avoid overflowing bins.
Officials also announced that a wider update to trash routes in Bridgewater and the District of Lunenburg is coming on March 30, 2026. These changes are being made to help the collection process run more efficiently for the community.
Residents are encouraged to confirm their new collection days before the end of the month to avoid missing their pickup. Information on these upcoming changes and real-time updates are available on the provider’s website.
