WASTE MANAGEMENT
Transfer Station System
Lanark Highlands operates a network of transfer stations and landfills for its residents. Landfills are the final resting place for non recyclable garbage; they require a daily cover of soil to prevent garbage from attracting wildlife or blowing around as litter. Since daily cover fills valuable space, the Township operates one landfill at a time in order to preserve capacity. Transfer Stations accept recyclables and garbage which are shipped off site for final disposal. In 2011 the Middleville Waste Site will continue to operate as the municipal landfill, accepting Construction & Demolition waste and large household items in addition to recyclables. All other Waste Sites now operate as Transfer Stations and only accept Bagged Household Waste and Recyclables (Blue Box materials, Brush, Leaves, Tires, WEEE and Scrap Metal.) If you have any questions about waste disposal, please contact the Lanark Highlands Township Office at 613-259-2398.
LARGE LOADS MUST BE SORTED!
Loads of construction & demolition waste MUST be sorted prior to delivery to the landfill. Scrap metal, asphalt shingles, wood must be separated for deposit into designated areas at the landfill. Load separation increases the municipality's ability to divert materials from the landfill and recycle and increases revenues to pay for waste management. Load separation extends the life of our landfills and reduces your tipping fees. Large loads will NOT be accepted if metal, shingles and wood are not separated.
