Pursuant to powers vested in it under section 207, 208, 209, 210, 280.1, 280.2 and 280.4 of the City of Corner Brook Act R.S.N. L 1990, c. C15, as amended, and all other powers enabling, the Corner Brook City Council, the Council of Corner Brook, at its Regular Council Meeting of September 8, 2025 issued a notice of motion to rescind the existing Garbage and Refuse Regulations 2015 and replace it with the Garbage and Refuse Regulations, 2025.
Amendment proposed to the Regulation are for the purpose of administering the new automated garbage collection system which was approved by Council on June 23, 2025. These amendments include, but are not limited to:
1) Regulations for City-Provided Approved Storage Containers (ASCs): Clear guidelines on the use, placement, and maintenance of designated curbside carts.
2) Updating Recycling Procedures: The City will be moving from a single co-mingled recycling approach to having two streams of recycling (fibers and plastics/metals).
3) Updated Definition of Multi-Unit Residential Properties: Revising the threshold from 10 units or more to 5 units or more to better reflect current collection needs.
3) Removal of the Grandfather Clause: Eliminating the exemption for multi-unit residential buildings with more than 10 units that received municipal collection services in 2013. These buildings will no longer receive collection services by the City of Corner Brook and will be the responsibility of the property owner.
The public will have an opportunity to provide input on the proposed regulations and repeal up to September 16, 2025. Comments can be submitted in writing to the City of Corner Brook P.O. Box 1080 Corner Brook NL or via email at sustainability@cornerbrook.com or by calling (709) 637-1630.
