Clear Bags and Blue Boxes

Garbage must be brought to a Waste Disposal Site in a clear, see-through bag. Site attendants may ask to look at your garbage bag. If your bag contains recycling, a fee of $3/bag will apply.

Recycling must be loose when it is dropped off at the Waste Disposal Site. This means the best choice for storing your recycling is in a Blue Box or other storage container (such as an old laundry basket).

Recycling may be brought to a Waste Disposal Site contained in bags, but the bags must be emptied into the recycling bin.

Cottage Kits

If you rent out or share your cottage with others, make waste disposal easy for your guests by providing a Cottage Kit. These kits are  one-time-user waste disposal pass and also includes helpful infomration for your guests.

Single cottage kits are $3 each or 10 for $25. 

Disposable and Single Use Products

Disposable and single use products are often used at the cottage to free up more time to play. Not all of these are recyclable, however. Please place these items in the garbage:

• Single-use coffee pods
• Paper towel & napkins
• Plastic cutlery
• Soiled paper plates
• Face and baby wipes
• Straws

Waste Disposal Card

Please ensure you have your Waste Disposal Card when you attend one of our Waste Disposal Sites. Your card is distributed in your tax bill every two years. The current card expires in 2023.

Purchasing Additional Cards: 

• Replacement cards can be purchased for $5 each
• Additional cards can be purchased for $50 each

Cards can be purchased from the Administration Office, located at 7 Milne Street, Minden.
