KAWARTHA LAKES-The City of Kawartha Lakes has partnered with Talize Inc./Recycling Rewards to create a textile reuse and recycling pilot program.
Residents can now drop off textile items at any our five landfill sites.
Textile materials are free to drop off but must be placed inside clear bags. Items that are stained or ripped are allowed. Waste Management is currently looking into details on curbside collection so please stay tuned for more information in the coming months.
The following items can be donated in the new textile bins:
| Clothing | Footwear | Linens |

Other diversion programs
There are a variety of different programs in place that offer the opportunity to divert items from entering our landfills. From mattresses to electronics, scrap metal to construction materials, all of these items and more can be recycled instead of tossed away.
