Harvest Moon Trail Closure Notice

The Town of Wolfville advises residents and trail users that the stretch of trail off Elm Ave and behind the Farmers’ Market will be closed for construction beginning March 25 for approximately three weeks, or until work is completed.

This closure is for the installation of a concrete walkway as part of the ongoing improvements to the Harvest Moon Trail. 

During this time, a signed detour route will be in place. Trail users can access the detour via the driveway located by the Curling Club and the Farmers’ Market.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this work and improve the trail.

As of April 1, Valley Waste is introducing a bi‑weekly bulky waste collection system. There are no more spring or fall clean-up events.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Each household and/or registered apartment unit may place up to two (2) bulky items out for collection on their regular scheduled collection day.
• Bulky items will be collected in the same truck as regular garbage bags and can be placed together in your normal curbside collection location.
• Bulky waste includes large household items such as furniture, mattresses, and similar oversized items.
• Items placed too early, too late, or more than the two‑item limit will not be collected.
• As with the old system, certain bulky items cannot be collected as part of curbside collection (ex. electronics, fluorescent tubes, tires, hazardous waste)

Any uncollected solid waste must be removed by the end of the collection day.

Curbside collection prevents waste build-up and maintains clean, safe properties for everyone. If you have any questions, please reach out to info@vwrm.com or call the hotline at 902-679-1325.
