IMPORTANT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

While the Kenloch Transfer Station is currently open, residents should use curbside collection as their black bag garbage disposal method.

As directed by Nova Scotia Public Health, residents should stay home as much as possible and **visit the Kenloch facility only when absolutely necessary**. Instead, save items for Spring Heavy Garbage Pickup.

As a reminder, all users of the facility must wear masks and practice safe social distancing. This is for the safety of visitors and staff.

IMPORTANT AVIS POUR TOUS LES RÉSIDENTS

Bien que la station de transfert de Kenloch soit actuellement ouverte, les résidents doivent utiliser la collecte régulière comme méthode principale d'élimination des déchets

Conformément aux directives du ministère de la Santé publique de la Nouvelle-Écosse, les résidents devraient rester à la maison autant que possible et **ne se rendre à la station de Kenloch qu'en cas d'absolue nécessité**. Gardez plutôt vos articles pour la collecte des déchets lourds du printemps.

Nous vous rappelons que tous les visiteurs aux édifices municipales doivent porter des masques et pratiquer une distanciation sociale sécuritaire. C'est pour la sécurité des visiteurs et du personnel. ...
