The north end of the Southern Shore has lost its recycling depot.
Bay Bulls council voted to remove the Green Depot from its business tax roll effective May 31.
“It’s sad that it’s closed,” said councilor Corey Ronayne. “It was a good location for residents and highly used. It’s too bad it closed.”
Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien added residents will now have to bring their recyclables to Mount Pearl, as it’s the nearest depot.
“Yeah, it’s too bad,” agreed councilor Jason Sullivan. “A lot of people are missing it now that it’s gone, like most things.”
The motion to remove the business from the tax roll was approved unanimously.
According to the Green Depot website, balances previously held at the Bay Bulls Green Depot have been migrated to Scotia Recycling for payment upon request, beginning on July 2.
Account holders can contact nlap@scotiarecycling.com to request an account payout, or call 709-368-7466 for further information.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Regional Service Board will continue curbside recycling pickup, however residents will of course see no monetary return on those recyclables.
