Clear Bags for Garbage
Like many communities in Ontario, the Township of Minden Hills requires residents to use clear garbage bags for disposing of waste. This allows our site attendants to perform a quick check to make sure that your bag doesn't contain hazardous waste or recyclables. This system helps us identify where our residents need help accessing our recycling programs and provide you with information and assistance in diverting waste from landfill.

Tipping Fees
Managing waste is very expensive. There are financial and environmental impacts to landfilling wastes and to removing waste from site to be recycled somewhere else. Charging tipping fees helps recover those costs so that the cost is not applied to your property tax. This way, the person who creates the waste pays for the cost to manage it.
