Waste Collection:
The City is waiving the one plus one garbage bag limit for areas affected by flooding for the next two weeks. Quantity limits will not be waived in any area other than those impacted by flooding. This is not a City-wide exemption of waste quantity limits.
As well, bulk disposal rates will be waived for residents in flooded areas who take damaged goods or waste to a transfer station.
Contact your insurance agent to obtain approval before discarding or destroying any furniture or equipment, or removing structural elements such as drywall.
Household Hazardous Waste facility closed:
Flooding on the weekend resulted in water damage at the Household Hazardous Waste facility and Reuse Store at the Mountain Community Recycling Centre, therefore the facility will be closed until Monday, August 3rd. The bin areas for recycling and garbage remain open. Household Hazardous Waste may be dropped off at the Kenora or Dundas Community Recycling Centres which remain fully open.
