THUNDER BAY -- The May long weekend might not have been quite what Thunder Bay residents were used to, but it does come with one perk - an extra bag of garbage to toss away this week.
City of Thunder Bay officials said residents will be permitted to put a third item of garbage at the curbside on their first collection date after the holiday weekend. An item of garage could be an additional can, or an additional bag, if not placed inside a proper receptacle.
The city does ask that residents make efforts to reduce waste as a way to save "energy, time, money and valuable natural resources."
