Fenelon landfill scales out of service for maintenance from August 9 through August 12

UPDATE - Tuesday August 13 (9am) - The repairs on the Fenelon landfill scales are going to be longer than initially expected.

Maintenance work will continue during the week of August 12, through the weekend with the work anticipated to be completed by end of day on Monday August 19, 2024.

The landfill will remain open, but longer wait times should be expected.

Thank you for your patience as we work through the repairs.

Kawartha Lakes – The scales at the Fenelon landfill are currently out of service and will be undergoing repairs starting Saturday August 10. The repairs will run through Monday August 12.

The Fenelon landfill will remain open to the community while repairs are taking place. As a result, anyone visiting the Fenelon landfill on Saturday or Monday should expect longer wait times than usual.

If you want to avoid the longer wait times, you’re welcome to visit one of our three other landfills that are open on Saturdays:

  • Lindsay Ops landfill open 8am to 3pm
  • Eldon landfill open 11am to 5pm
  • Somerville landfill open 11am to 5pm

If you’re planning a trip on Monday and want to avoid the potential lines at the Fenelon landfill, your two other landfill options are:

  • Lindsay Ops landfill open 8am to 5pm
  • Somerville landfill open 11am to 5pm

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we assure you that we will be working hard to get operations back to normal with as little delay as possible.

If you are planning a trip to the landfill this weekend, don’t forget to let us know how we did afterwards by filling out our Landfill Customer Satisfaction survey.
