MUNICIPAL HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT 4686 Wolf Grove Road, Middleville The Municipal Hazardous Waste Depot (MHWD) located at the Middleville waste site is open from May 19th through Thanksgiving Day for all residents of Lanark Highlands & Tay Valley Townships. No drop-off or tipping fees apply. The MHWD accepts household hazardous waste during all regular Middleville waste site hours. Commercial, farm, & industrial wastes are not accepted. Please deliver leftover paints & other re-usable items to the MHWD REUSE TABLE. Re-using items whenever possible saves the township money on recycling and disposal. It also keeps unsafe material out of our landfill & extends our landfill capacity. When you bring your leftover materials and containers to the MHWD, we will ensure that they’re reused or recycled into new materials such as recycled paint, antifreeze and plastics. When we can’t reuse or recycle what we collect, our contractor handles safe disposal using methods that minimize environmental impact. For a complete listing of materials accepted and waste site hours consult the website at www.lanarkhighlands.ca/Services/PublicWorks, check the 2012 issue of the Highland Voice, or call the Lanark Highlands Township office at 613-259-2398.
We wish to thank all applicants for their interest. Only those applicants selected for further consideration will be contacted. Personal information collected from applications is collected under the authority of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, and will be used to determine qualifications for employment.
