KAWARTHA LAKES: Kawartha Lakes is excited to share some of our great diversion programs available to residents this summer through our Waste Management division:
Woodchip (mulch) and Compost giveaway
Woodchip (mulch) and compost are available for pickup at the Lindsay landfill on Wednesdays only while supplies last. Residents are instructed to come empty to the landfill as they will be required to weigh in and weigh out to get accurate weights on the woodchips and compost that are going out. If residents are able to load the woodchips/compost themselves, it’s free. If residents require staff to load it for them with the loader, it is $100 per tonne of product.
Please keep in mind that our “woodchips” are made using a tub grinder, so they are not uniform chips; they’re closer to mulch. Residents should feel safe using our compost for their gardens as it is tested prior to it being released to the public.
Please note the Lindsay landfill is closed to receiving waste on Wednesdays, but it is open for woodchip and compost pickup.
