Do you have a broken or cracked Blue Box?Bring your damaged blue box to any Muskoka landfill or transfer station and exchange it for a new one at no charge.

Muskoka operates a two-stream recycling programContainers must be in one box or clear/transparent bag, and paper products in another. See page 2 for recycling sorting guide.

Blue Boxes cannot be placed inside roadside bins. Sorted, clear bags only.Sorted recycling cannot be buried under garbage bags. Both must be visible and stored side by side, not ontop of each other.Remember - sorted recycling in clear bags, garbage in solid coloured bags.

Muskoka operates a two-stream recycling program

Garbage must be secured in a solid coloured, standard sized garbage bag. (No loose garbage inside cans.)

Maximum weight (including can) must not exceed 55lbs (25kg).

A garbage can or roadside animal proof bin is recommended to contain waste. Avoid putting unsecured waste at the curb; this invites animal encounters and litter.

Because of unforseen delays, trucks may be collecting until 8:00pm and arrival times are not guaranteed to be the same each collection day. Garbage must be properly contained until the trucks arrive.

YEAR-ROUND

Recycling must be sorted to be collected.(See Page 2 for Recycling Sorting Guide)

Residents may use sorted Blue Boxes, any similar sized open container or plastic clear/transparent bags.

Recycling that has not been rinsed of remaining food waste will contaminate loads and will be left behind.

Remember, sorted recycling is unlimited each week. Don’t overload your Blue Boxes (maximum weight must not exceed 55lbs); use a laundry basket, tote or cardboard box to contain sorted recyclables if you run out of room.

The curbside Green Bin Organics Program is available to Urban Area residents.

If using liners, use Certified Compostable liners as detailed on Page 3.

Material is manually dumped. Maximum weight (including Green Bin) must not exceed 55lbs (25kg) to ensure safe lifting.

Only use an approved Green Bin. Other curbside containers may not be acceptable.

Green Bins don’t need to be full to be collected, set them out each week, year-round.

TIPS (white kitchen Small bags containing waste (white kitchen Recycling is now collected from inside

roadside bins. Only clear or transparent bags can be used to store recycling in bins; this is to assist in safe lifting practices. Please do not place Blue Boxes inside of roadside bins. They will not be collected.

If using Blue Boxes, place in a location where they are visible to the driver from the travelled roadway.

Stack your Blue Boxes on top of one another at the curb. This will prevent material blowing away and creating litter.

Green Bins should be placed beside garbage cans and Blue Boxes, visible to the driver from the travelled roadway.

Residential Green Bin material can be delivered at no charge to:- Bracebridge (Rosewarne) Transfer Station - Gravenhurst (Beiers) Landfill- Huntsville (Stisted) Transfer Station- Port Carling (Eveleigh) Transfer Station or - Port Severn (Baxter) Transfer Station

If located in the Rural Areas of Muskoka, consider purchasing a backyard composter to divert organic material from your garbage bag. Use your homemade compost to nourish your gardens, lawn, and more!

BLUE BOXES: Muskoka branded Blue Boxes are available for purchase at any Landfill or Transfer Station in Muskoka, or at the District of Muskoka Administration Building at 70 Pine Street in Bracebridge during normal operating hours.

GREEN BINS: Muskoka branded Green Bins belong to the home, not the homeowner. Please leave them behind if you’re moving. If you have recently moved and do not have a Green Bin, please contact the District of Muskoka at 705-645-6764 for more information.
