-COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS-
Start date: April 14, 2022
End date: May 31, 2022
In response to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases, some residents may be self-isolating as a
precaution or due to illness. During this isolation period, to ensure the health and safety of our
collections and sort line staff, Quinte Waste Solutions is reminding residents to either store
recyclables until the isolation period has ended or carefully place all material into garbage bags
and utilize their regular garbage collection day for disposal.
At this time, our Material Recovery Facility located at 270 West Street, Trenton remains open
for public use. We do ask that if you have been sick, displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, or
have traveled outside of the area, please do not visit our facility. If you must visit, please note the
following:
● All visitors will be asked to wait outside if there is already someone in the reception
area being served. The entranceway to our facility will not accommodate the
recommended 6 feet apart of social distance.
● Visitors are not required to wear a mask, but please do so based on your comfort
level.
If visiting our Household Hazardous & Electronic Waste Depot at 75 Wallbridge Cres:
● If you are sick, do not visit the depot. If you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19,
you will be asked to leave, but you may return once you are no longer a high risk to
staff.
● If you are wearing a mask, please ensure it covers your nose, mouth and chin.
● Place all your household hazardous waste in the cargo area of your vehicle. If the
material is not in the trunck area, you will be asked to exit the property to place the
material in the proper area before returning to the depot.
● If you refuse, you may be instructed to leave the property, and your materials may be
refused.
