Below is a snapshot of some other Muskoka waste-related updates

Bin Site Transition Project - The District Municipality of Muskoka’s Bin Site Transition Plan is an ongoing initiative to transition Muskoka’s previously unstaffed and unsupervised dumpster sites to long-term, alternate waste collection service that is licensed and environmentally sustainable.

Clear Bag Program - a community commitment aimed to ensure that waste entering Muskoka’s only landfill is properly sorted, reducing recyclables and compostable material in our garbage bags. Many municipalities have successfully implemented similar programs, showing improvements in waste diversion rates and increased awareness about proper waste management practices. Subject to District Council’s approval the curbside clear bag program is set to start in early 2025 and at waste facilities in early 2026.
