Dumping on Blanchard Street is for town use only.
The Town of Dalhousie is very concerned about illegal dumping on town and private properties. Construction material, tires, and other unwanted waste are not to be disposed on any property. Such waste can be disposed of at the Restigouche Transfer Station in Campbellton (789-2111) and LCL Excavation in Charlo (684-3453).
Household waste and recycling can be disposed in a container at curbside alternating every 2 weeks.
Provincial laws provide fines and or jail time for this crime. Any person(s) caught and charged with illegal dumping are subject to a fine of $500.00. The fines can go up to as much as $50,000.00 for individuals. Any company(s) caught performing this crime can be charged with fines ranging from $1,000.00 to $1 million dollars.
Help keep our community clean and safe by reporting all incidents of abandoned garbage or witnessing illegal dumping. We all need to take illegal dumping seriously.
