WASTE SITE NEWS & UPDATES
The Municipality of Huron Shores is making improvements to all Waste Sites. A new Long-Term Waste Management Plan is in progress. Stay tuned by subscribing to our website for more information.
Waste Sites #1 and #3 are now accepting fluorescent and household bulbs.
Ratepayers are required to provide caretakers with Waste Site User Cards upon entry to the waste site. User cards have been in effect since October 1, 2020.
TIPPING FEES
SHINGLES, MIXED DEBRIS or REFUSE and CONTAMINATED SOILS ONLY
While every effort is to be made to sort and segregate waste according to designated areas, the Municipality recognizes that in some instances, this may be impossible to achieve, creating Exceptional Cases.
In Exceptional Cases, (which could be contaminated soils or mixed building debris or refuse i.e. from building construction or destruction within Municipality), this contaminated soil or mixed debris may be accepted, at the discretion of the Waste Site superintendent or his/her designate, and upon the superintendent’s direction, refuse must be deposited in the site as directed by said superintendent or designate and is subject to the fees identified below in addition to any handling fees that may be incurred to deal with said refuse.
Commercial businesses providing disposal services for mixed debris and/or contaminated soil must contact the Waste Site superintendent or designate to determine quantities and to make arrangements for disposal. Mixed debris or contaminated refuse will only be disposed of on days that the site is open, unless there is deemed to be an emergency situation as determined by the Ministry of Environment or the Waste Site superintendent.
RECYCLING
Big improvements are coming to Huron Shores’ Blue Box recycling program!
We’re making recycling easier, safer, and more efficient for everyone.
Recyclables will still be collected at local depots, within a Province wide update to recycling through Circular Materials Ontario (CMO). Please remember, hazardous waste won’t be accepted to keep our depots safe and clean.
Stay tuned for updates on materials you can recycle.
The program is set to run through December 31, 2025, with options to extend. Rest assured, your recycling services will continue without pause. We’re excited about these upgrades and look forward to sharing more soon. Subscribe to our website and watch the Stay Informed page for updates!
