Perth East moving to automated garbage collection

Perth East residents are getting a change to the way their garbage and recycling is picked up.

The Township is introducing bi-weekly automated collection in June. That’s a system where a specially designed truck picks up a wheelie bin, empties it, and then returns it to its original spot.

The township says bins will be provided but you’ll have to pay a yearly fee based on the size of the bin you request.

Take note there have been reports that the notices about automated pickup have been distributed in Stratford. This was done mistakenly and the service is not coming to the city.
