Laxton Landfill re-opens April 11, 2019
Laxton Municipal landfill under construction until spring 2019
Please take note that the Laxton landfill located in Norland will be under construction throughout the winter season and into spring of 2019 to move and replace the scales and prepare the grades for the next phase of landfilling. This work is being done to ensure disposal space is available at the landfill for the future. Until the scales are moved, we are requesting that contractors and commercial organizations limit the amount of construction demolition waste to less than one 40 cubic yard bin per week.
In the meantime, large quantities of construction demolition waste in excess of one 40-cubic yard bin per week can be brought to the Lindsay, Fenelon or Eldon landfills.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have full service resume back to normal in the spring of 2019.

Boats
|
|
We accept boats at City landfill sites at a rate of $110 per tonne. When you bring a boat to the landfill you must make sure the fuel tank is empty. If you can't provide physical evidence that the boat has no fuel in it the boat will not be accepted at the landfill site.
You can prove the boat is empty of fuel in one of three ways:
- Drill a hole in the bottom of the fuel tank before going to the landfill;
- Remove the fuel tank from the boat;
- Ask the landfill attendant to dip the tank with a stick.
Emptying boats of fuel before arriving at the landfill protects the personal safety of landfill attendants and prevents environmental contamination.
