The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne through the Department of Technical Services has recently completed negotiations for a new Five Year Contract for the ‘Curb Side Pick –up’ of all household domestic waste materials, with D&R DISPOSAL SERVICES of Kawehnoke.

The current contract is effective April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2018, some of the highlights to point out for the new contract are;

All domestic waste generated at home is covered under this process, including furniture, mattresses, light construction debris.

This contract does not include household hazardous waste materials.

This Contract DOES NOT INCLUDE COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS and BUSINESSES. No commercial businesses or sites are covered by this contract, it will now be the responsibility of the business owner to contract and cover cost for waste materials generated from the business venture, this includes but is not limited to, a corner store, Laundromats, restaurants and the like. (A paid fee for service must be arranged with the MCA to have this waste stream picked up under this contract.)

Excessive construction debris will not be picked up under this contract and is the responsibility of the home owner/ generator to pay for its removal. However small bundles, not exceeding thirty (30) pounds, must be bound or bundled to assist in ease of removal, must not be longer than three feet in length, will be removed.

White goods and appliances are part of this collection. A service charge payable by the generator will be charged by the contractor for appliances with a refrigerant such as refrigerators, Air Conditioner units and dehumidifiers will apply. MCA encourages homeowners to take advantage of service provided by merchants selling new white goods and furniture, and allow them to take away the old appliances as part of their services for new items.

The land fill site will accept for disposal used tires for a fee. MCA encourages homeowners to release and dispose of their old tires at tire suppliers when and where you purchase new tires.

All domestic residential sites and MCA identified assets are covered under this contract and must use clear plastic bags, unless otherwise directed.

This contract includes the single stream Recyclable Materials collection program as scheduled for every Tuesday.

Recycling is mandatory for all domestic homes and facilities covered under this contract. Recyclable materials will be collected at all Commercial operations.

The Existing collection schedule will be maintained until further notice. The Contractor and MCA will determine if any schedule change is approved and will advertise in advance any proposed changes to the collection schedule. Any changes will be post mail/ and or hand delivered to the community and advertised in at least one local community news paper confirming any new proposed schedule and start date.

Residential unit waste bins will need to be constructed and maintained by the owner in such a way that does not impede or delay the collection Contractor.

The Contractor is not responsible for traveling down Private Roads or Driveways, all waste materials generated from residents on these private road systems are responsible to bring the waste to the closest public access road intersection for service. A listing of Public Roads are listed in this notice.

Household Hazardous collection date is note currently scheduled or approved. MCA will advertise Household Hazardous Waste Day drop off once approved. The service will be accessible to all residential sites within MCA jurisdiction. This is a free service to the community.

Residents of Akwesasne MCA jurisdiction can transport solid waste to the land fill site on their own accord, but are responsible for all fees and costs and/or tipping fees, they will not be paid by MCA. The Land fill site we are currently utilizing is the Lafleche Environment Inc. located at 17125 Lafleche Rd Moose Creek Ontario. K0C1W0 613-538-2778. The hours are Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Persons wanting to use this option only need to show their status/band card at the land fill site.

There is “No Spring Clean Up Program”, the terms of the new contract and the new land fill site, eliminate the need for this service. What we ask of the community is to put out smaller portions of waste materials throughout the year, rather than all at once, the program is geared to handle this operation more effectively this way.

On the last day of the month, for regular pick up in your district, we ask that this day be used to dispose of larger items like white goods, furniture and so on, the contractor can better service this aspect knowing what days to expect these items.
