Spring Clean-Up

Anyone wishing to dispose of clean-up material at any time can do so by taking it to the Regional Waste Management site on Norris Arm North Access Road. Hours of operation are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Our Drop-Off Facility on Whitmore Street is also open on selected Saturdays.

The period of May 23rd–June 9th, 2023 has been designated as Clean-Up period in the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor and to assist with this program, Town trucks will pick up debris and refuse.

Please note that in order to avoid delays during our Spring Clean-Up, we ask residents to thoroughly review our Rules and Conditions to ensure compliance, particularly in regard to separating waste and having branches/wood in tied bundles of around 5ft lengths. Thank you for your cooperation.
