Garbage and Recycling
The Counties owns an approved but as yet unopened landfill site located on Byers Road in the Township of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal. At present, there is no scheduled opening date as those municipalities which do not have active landfill sites of their own have been able to secure attractive agreements with private waste disposal operations.
Recycling and waste diversion programs are a requirement of all member municipalities.
The series of groundwater monitoring wells at ED-19 are inspected on a biannual basis and the Waste Management Steering Committee meets annually to discuss maintenance or planning issues with respect to the site. Recommendations of the Committee are submitted to the Public Works Committee for action as required.
Household Hazardous Waste
The Counties will be operating three Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) day events this year. HHW is accepted from residents of the Counties including the towns of Gananoque and Prescott. Waste is not accepted from residents of the City of Brockville or from commercial businesses.
This program is administered by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville in conjunction with Stewardship Ontario, Product Care, and Automotive Materials Stewardship. These recycling programs are aimed at keeping hazardous and special waste materials out of Ontario's landfills and waterways.
The locations and dates of the 2018 HHW in Leeds and Grenville are listed below. For further information, please contact the Forest Manager. Contact information is available at the bottom of this page.
