Services
The District provides our residents with a number of waste services, including:
- Garbage
- Green Bin
- Hazardous and Electronic Waste
- Landfill and Transfer Sites
- Leaf and Yard Waste
- Recycling
Effective November 19, 2024, The District Municipality of Muskoka’s curbside recycling program will be under the management of CM. With this transition, non-residential properties will no longer be eligible for curbside recycling service, outside of designated Downtown/Main Street area routes. These sources are “non-eligible” under the Blue Box Regulation (Ontario Regulation 391/21) and will no longer receive curbside collection for recycling. Non-eligible sources include the following:
• All private sector businesses
• Place of worship
• Daycares
• Campgrounds (without households)
• Public facing and internal areas of municipal buildings/facilities (e.g., libraries, arenas)
• Not-for-profit organizations (e.g., shelters, food-banks)
A comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions resource has been prepared and is available at the following link www.muskoka.on.ca/blue-box-transition.
