Back for its third summer is the weekly Garbage Run. Every Monday (or Tuesday after a holiday weekend) BigRed will come by and remove up to 3 bags of garbage (each additional bag is $5.00) and as much recycling as you can find! All we ask is that you keep your garbage and recycling separate. At the same time we will deliver water jugs for those in need of bottled water. Let BigRed take care of your trash this summer and forget about leaking garbage in your boat.

BigRedWorks is ramping it up to service you more quickly and efficiently! This summer has brought about many changes at BigRed. We have increased our fleet of work boats, and opened an office in town.

The newest addition to the BigRed Fleet is the new 8x24 foot steel work boat with barge-like capabilities. It can hold almost as much as the barges but has 150 horse-power which decreases travel time significantly to save you time and money!

In an attempt to serve you better, we have hired Sara as our new office assistant who will be helping out with administration and accounting. Sara attends Queen's Commerce with me and is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the company as she has worked with us sporadically over the last 2 summers.

Sara will be answering your calls, replying to your emails, setting up appointments with me, and doing other behind the scenes work to ensure you receive timely services.
