Stop Illegal Dumping

Keep Our Community Clean and Safe!

Illegal dumping is a serious issue affecting our community’s cleanliness and environment. We need your help to combat this problem. Your identity will be kept confidential.

*Please Note: If we cannot put an end to this type of behavior, it might impact the availability of the dump or transfer station in Ward 2. Your cooperation is crucial to maintaining these facilities for our community.

🚮 What is Illegal Dumping? Illegal dumping is the unauthorized disposal of waste in non-designated areas, such as roadsides, vacant lots, or private properties. This includes everything from household garbage to hazardous materials.

⚠️ Consequences of Illegal Dumping:

• Fines: You could be fined up to $365.00 for illegal dumping; see By-law #23-36. Our by-laws are strictly enforced to protect our community.
• Environmental Damage: Dumping waste can contaminate soil, water, and air, leading to long-term environmental damage.
• Health Hazards: Dumped waste can attract pests, spread diseases, and create dangerous conditions for residents and wildlife.

🌳 What Can You Do?

• Use Designated Waste Facilities: Properly dispose of waste at approved locations; please visit Waste Disposal & Recycling Services – Huron Shores for locations and hours of operation. The transfer station at 473 Cullis Road is now accepting household garbage, recycling, bulk items, and brush.
• Secure Your Trash: Make sure the lids on your bins are securely closed to prevent animals from spreading garbage.
• Report Illegal Dumping: If you witness illegal dumping, report it immediately to the Municipal Office at 705-843-2033 or to the Ontario Provincial Police Non-emergency Line 1(888) 310-1122.
• Provide Information: Any information you can provide, such as descriptions of vehicles, license plate numbers, or details about the individuals involved, will be valuable.
• Stay Informed: Follow our social media channels and visit our website for updates and information on how we’re addressing illegal dumping.

Let’s work together to keep our community clean and green.
