THUNDER BAY -- Continuing cold weather has convinced the city to push back its spring leaf and garden waste collection dates.

In a release issued on Tuesday morning, the city says the revised pick-up dates will now be between May 17 and 27, on the regular recycling day indicated on the official 2016 garbage and recycling collection schedule.

“Homeowners are reminded that residential leaf and yard waste must be stored in Kraft paper bags only for curb-side pickup. Plastic bags are not accepted. Kraft bags are available at most hardware and grocery stores,” the city said in the statement.
