Visiting landfill reminders:
When visiting landfills, for your safety, please remember to wear proper footwear (certified safety footwear is best), pants and a shirt (bulky clothing may become hooked on items), and gloves.
As the warmer weather approaches please be mindful that landfill wait times could be longer than expected. Landfill staff always do their best to move the process along but delays should be expected on our busiest days.
If you’re planning a trip to the Lindsay Landfill, be sure to check out the Lindsay Landfill Line-up Camera to get an idea of how busy the landfill is before you leave your house.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Recycling
To seasonal residents, note that as of April 1, 2024 residential recycling collection in Kawartha Lakes will be provided by Circular Materials under a new province-wide system that shifts the responsibility of recycling programs to the producers of recycling waste (packaging).
At this time, there are no changes in recycling services for residents. Your recycling collection will remain the same day and there won’t be any difference as to what you can or can’t recycle. The municipality is no longer responsible for recycling customer service; please contact Miller Waste for inquiries related to missed pick ups or general recycling questions:
