Waste Diversion Programs In Ckl

Kawartha Lakes has some great diversion programs available to residents this summer through their Waste Management division.

Woodchip and Compost Giveaway

Woodchip (mulch) and compost is available for pick-up 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 the “woodchips” are made using a tub grinder, so they are not uniform chips; they’re closer to mulch. Residents should feel safe using the compost for their gardens as it is tested prior to it being released to the public.
