There are changes coming to garbage, recycling, and compost collection throughout Tantramar and the southeast region in February 2025.
At a special meeting on August 15th, Tantramar council voted to approve an agreement with the Southeast Regional Service Commission, to allow them to proceed with contracts for waste collection services in 2025.
Tantramar’s public works director Jon Eppell told council how the province’s forced amalgamation of municipalities in 2023, as well as major cost increases in the garbage collection industry, precipitated the move to have the commission take on the role.
