Freon Appliance Round-Up 2024

TRI-NEIGHBOURS

BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

FREON APPLIANCE ROUND-UP

Monday, June 3, 2024 to Monday, September 30, 2024

The Tri-Neighbours Board of Management will be sponsoring a Freon Appliance Round-Up beginning on Monday, June 3, 2024 and ending on Monday, September 30, 2024.  Large freon appliances such as fridges and freezers can be brought to the Transfer Sites located in the Town of Bruce Mines and the Town of Thessalon and the Waste Management Site (Landfill) on East Line Road during normal operating hours.  A Sticker must be purchased and applied to the appliance to be accepted in the sites.  These stickers are available at the transfer sites and the landfill site from the Site Attendant for a fee of $20.00 each.  This fee will cover the cost of removing the Freon from the appliance.  All doors must be removed from appliances by owner prior to bringing into the sites.

Small appliances such as dehumidifiers, air conditioners, mini fridges and freezers etc. can now be brought to the Waste Management Site and Thessalon Transfer Site and placed with the E-Waste at no charge to the residents all year round.

This event is only open to the residents of the Town of Bruce Mines, the Township of Plummer Additional and the Town of Thessalon.

Huron St. Construction Update

Pioneer Construction is currently putting up traffic control signage for the road closure and detour route. They have advised that they will be closing Huron St. and the intersection of Main St. and Huron St. on Wednesday May 8, 2024.

Attention: Huron St. Construction

Pioneer Construction has advised us that they will begin laying out infrastructure for the temporary water system along Huron St. Essentially, piping will be laid parallel to Huron St along the property lines of the street and across driveways. Piping placed over driveways will have ramping placed over them to allow home owners to drive over the pipes.

It is anticipated that Pioneer will begin work on tying the temporary water system to the Town’s water system as early as next Monday (May 6, 2024), where there will be temporary water service interruptions to residents in the Huron St area and potentially businesses on Main St. Pioneer is to provide us with a schedule for service interruptions in the very near future.

Government Road Bridge

Please be advised that the Government Road Bridge (the Red Bridge) weight limit is not to exceed 10 TONNES and the height limit is not to exceed 3.0 METRES.
