If you missed curbside garbage collection this week, you'll will be allowed to place double the weekly bag limit at the curb next week.
That's because of a mistake in the City's waste management app this week.
Some residents using the North Bay Recycles App did not receive the most recent service update from earlier this month indicating that there will be no changes to the regular curbside collection schedule over Christmas and New Year’s.
As a result, if you missed curbside garbage collection this week you will be permitted to place two extra bags, a total of four bags, at the curb on your next regularly scheduled collection day.
"Those using the North Bay Recycles App should be sure to refresh or close it after use," says a City news release. "If the app has been operating in the background on a device, it won't receive updated data."
