The weekly limit is two bags of household garbage, securely tied shut and unlimited recycling in clear/transparent bags. Recycling may also be brought in an open top container.

Green bin organic material, large items (furniture, appliances) and other waste can be delivered to any District transfer station during normal operating hours. Many locations are open seven days a week and open late on Sundays in the summer.

Not sure where it goes? Try our Waste Wizard. Simply type in any item, and the Waste Wizard will tell you if it's recyclable, belongs in your garbage bag or needs special care.

No, it can't. We are relying on the cooperation of our dedicated Muskoka community to respect this service and, at the same time, preserve our beautiful Muskoka environment – the reason we all choose to live here. Any abandoned garbage left on the ground before or after the event time is considered illegal dumping. These instances will be investigated and may result in the cancellation of the program.
