Medical Waste Register

Our Medical Waste Register is for residents and medical professionals who need to place additional bags of waste at the curb each week because of in-home treatment or other medical reasons. The Register offers a supply of garbage bag tags at no cost to help manage the extra waste.

To qualify for the Medical Waste Register:

1. Complete the Medical Waste Registry Form;
2. Take the form to your medical practitioner to confirm that in-home treatment is taking place and extra waste may be produced. Your medical practitioner must sign the form;
3. Mail the completed form to:

Waste Management, City of Kawartha Lakes

322 Kent Street West, PO BOX 9000,

Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4T7.

You can also email it to waste management.

This program will only address the needs of residents undergoing medical treatment.  Large families and other individuals and/or businesses who cannot meet set- out limits will not be eligible for this program.

My waste collection was missed or delayed, what now?

From time to time, waste (garbage and recycling) collection can get delayed due to inclement weather and/or poor road conditions. While our waste collection partner, Miller Waste, does their best to avoid any kind of collection delay, sometimes they are unavoidable.
