Waste Management

Waste & Recycling Services

The Town of Lac du Bonnet is pleased to provide reliable and efficient waste collection services in partnership with Bristal
Hauling, our contracted service provider.

As part of this transition, residents can expect continued curbside pickup of household waste and recycling, with a focus on maintaining a clean, safe, and environmentally responsible community. Bristal Hauling brings a strong commitment to dependable service and modern collection practices that support the Town’s waste management goals.

Residents are encouraged to ensure that all waste and recycling materials are properly sorted and placed at the curb by the designated collection times. Following proper guidelines helps improve service efficiency and reduces environmental impact.

We thank residents for their cooperation during this transition and look forward to continuing to deliver high-quality waste services for our community.

For collection concerns, schedules, guidelines, and updates, please refer to the Town’s Waste Collection Schedule or contact Bristal Hauling at 204-388-4550 or email info@bristal.com

The Town of Lac du Bonnet utilizes the RM of Lac du Bonnet Transfer Station located on Provincial Road 520, just south of PR 313, for town residents to dispose of refuse that does not qualify for curbside pickup.
