Recycling and Garbage

The brush drop-off locations at the Galway Roads Depot, 49 Roads Depot, Cavendish Community Centre, and the County Depot on 36 will no longer be accepting brush after April 30th. Brush will continue to be accepted at all Transfer Stations during regular hours.

The Municipality of Trent Lakes has four Transfer Station Sites located throughout the Municipality for the disposal of your waste and recycling. We do not offer curbside collection, so you'll need to dispose of your waste at one of the Transfer Stations. Learn more about:

• Blue Box Recycling
• Clear Garbage Bags
• Waste Disposal Fees
• Waste Diversion Programs
• Bear Wise Program
• Cottage Kits

Please contact our Supervisor of Waste if you have any questions about garbage and recycling disposal. You may also refer to our Waste By-law.

Brush Collection

All of the Transfer Station Sites in Trent Lakes accept brush and yard waste with a diameter of 6 inches or less at no charge. However, due to the widespread damage caused by the ice storm we will be accepting all sizes of brush until further notice.
