Commercial Collection

Nova Scotian businesses are required to sort their waste according to provincial waste-resource regulations and local waste by-laws. Setting up a waste management program is an important responsibility of a business and South Shore Waste Solutions is here to help. 

When setting up waste management, collection services should be reviewed to determine which collection containers are needed and how often they should be emptied. Businesses require collection containers for: 

• Cardboard 
• Recyclables 
• Paper 
• Garbage 
• Green cart(s) for organic waste and paper towel 

When businesses separate their waste correctly, they save money. Most waste haulers provide different sized containers, depending on your needs. They may offer dividers for collection containers so you only need to rent one rather than two separate containers. Businesses within the District of Lunenburg, Town of Bridgewater and Town of Mahone Bay can deliver recyclable containers, paper and cardboard to South Shore Waste Solutions free of charge. Depending on the volume of waste, you may be able to place your waste curbside for collection.
