District of Muskoka will reopen Dorset (Ridout) Transfer Station on April 30, 2020
The Township of Lake of Bays – Waste Management Update
Following the temporary closure of the Ridout Transfer Station in Dorset at the outset of the pandemic, the District is preparing to reopen this waste facility on Thursday, April 30, 2020. The Ridout Transfer Station will resume normal operating hours to meet the community’s essential waste disposal needs.
Keeping Staff and Others Safe
We thank our community for continued support in helping to ensure the safety and wellbeing of critical waste management staff. When visiting our waste sites, please remember the following:
While all waste facilities remain open during regular business hours, residents are asked to limit their use, if possible. It’s recognized the Township of Lake of Bays does not have access to curbside collection and must rely on waste facilities for the delivery of waste materials. The District is asking residents to please deliver material in one essential outing and avoid multiple trips per week. Little changes can make a big difference in supporting these essential operations.
Township of Lake of Bays – Leaf and Yard Waste Drop-off
Leaf and yard waste is accepted at the following facilities in the Township of Lake of Bays:
The District is making arrangements to resume leaf and yard waste drop-off at the Baysville (McLean) facility when site conditions allow. More information will be provided soon.
