Delayed or missed waste and recycling collection

Due to the challenging road and weather conditions, some areas will not receive waste and recycling collection on Thursday, Jan. 15.

What to do if your materials are missed

Recycling

To help Emterra communicate recycling collection delays, Circular Materials Ontario (CMO) is posting recycling service alerts on their website. If you think your road may have been missed for collection, please check CMO’s website for more information: www.circularmaterials.ca/kawarthalakes

If recycling volumes become unmanageable in the meantime, residents may also bring accepted materials to Kawartha Lakes landfills during regular operating hours.

Garbage

If your garbage is missed, you will receive double garbage pick-up on your next waste collection day, meaning that you will be able to put out four bags (your garbage from last week plus your garbage for this week).

Miller Waste will be collecting until 7 p.m. tonight. If your items aren’t collected by then, please contact Miller Waste directly at 1-888-557-4711 or email .

For more information about delays, including how to sign up for notifications, visit the Waste Collection Delays page.

Thank you for your patience as crews work safely in today’s conditions.
