Seasonal Road Collection

Seasonal road collection of curbside waste and recycling ends on Friday October 25, 2024. If your road does not receive curbside waste and recycling collection between November and May, you can use an alternate winter collection location to have your waste and recycling picked up. As always, waste must be in clear bags. There is a two bag waste limit and additional bags and large items require pre-paid tags for collection. The construction of permanent storage containers at the alternative set out locations will not be permitted. You can find a list of the alternative set out locations under the Winter Collection drop down list here.

If you receive year-round curbside waste and recycling collection on a private seasonal road, please ensure your road is plowed and sanded as required, or curbside collection will not continue until winter maintenance occurs.

For more information, please visit please visit the Waste and Recycling page on the website or contact the Waste Management department at recycle@kawarthalakes.ca.
