The District of Muskoka owns and operates the Rosewarne Landfill in Bracebridge, the only active landfill in our community.
The Rosewarne Landfill (expansion) opened in 2016 with a 950,000 tonne capacity. Waste from the District's licensed Waste Facilities are delivered to Rosewarne.
The garbage we produce in Muskoka, stays in Muskoka.
The Rosewarne Landfill was designed based on nine (9) Cells with a total capacity of 950,000 tonnes that are constructed as additional capacity is needed, and was extensively engineered to meet rigorous environment standards far beyond any landfill in the region.
