Waste Management
Inverness County is celebrating over 20 years of recycling. Let’s continue to do our part for the environment today and everyday. In this section you can learn more about sorting for blue bags, composting at home, enviro-depot bottle exchange locations and more.
Water and Sewer
The Public Works Department is responsible for the administration, operation and maintenance of the municipality’s seven water systems and wastewater systems in the communities of Port Hastings, Judique, Port Hood, Mabou, Inverness, Whycocomagh and Cheticamp.
Garbage Collection Routes
Curb/roadside collection of your blue bags and regular waste are also part of public works services including two clean up weeks in May and October. Our collection trucks are split for garbage and blue bag recycling. Please make sure you sort properly so your material is recycled and not landfilled.
