A Free Tip Pass will be granted to new owners once they have established ownership within the Township.
The pass can only be used once. LIMITS ARE NOW IN EFFECT ON FREE TIP ITEMS. Your card has this information attached to it or you can access that information HERE. You must fill out the card with your name, address and roll # from your tax bill, and have the pass with you to exercise this privilege.

Failure to do so may result in your being refused entrance to the site. In compliance with the Ministry of the Environment Regulations only refuse generated within the Township can be accepted at the sites.
If you have lost your card or require a new one please do not hesitate to contact the Township Office.
There is no charge for regular household garbage or recycle products.
Waste Disposal Site Attendants and Township Staff can provide more detailed information on the Waste Disposal Household and Recycling Programs, any applicable fees for other items and direct you to the County of Peterborough Programs currently supported and operated at our sites.
THERE IS A CLEAR BAG POLICY IN THE TOWNSHIP - WE ASK THAT RESIDENTS KINDLY PLACE THEIR HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE IN BAGS THAT ARE "SEE-THROUGH" ENOUGH FOR ATTENDANTS TO ENSURE THAT RECYCLABLES ARE NOT BEING PLACED INTO THE LANDFILL. PLEASE HELP US TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF OUR LANDFILL SITE OPERATIONS.
If you are a tenant in the Township, renting from the registered property owner you must obtain the Waste Disposal card from your Landlord(s). If you are a Landlord within the Township, we request that you ensure that tenants of your property are provided with waste disposal passes for the proper disposing of their generated waste.
