Cottage Kits
If you rent out your cottage, make waste disposal easy for your guests. Cottage kits are available for purchase and provide a one-time Waste Disposal Card.
Cottage Kit contents
The cottage kit contains:
- A one-time Waste Disposal Card
- A Waste Management Guide for Renters that includes Waste Disposal Site hours and location
Purchasing Cottage Kits
Cottage kits are $5.00 each or 10 Cottage Kits for $45 and must be purchased by the registered property owner. They are available for purchase at any Waste Disposal Site.
Clear bags and blue box containers
Garbage must be brought to a Waste Disposal Site in a clear, see-through bag. Waste Site Attendants will do a quick visual inspection of your incoming materials. Refer to the Landfill and Waste Management User Fees page for applicable fees.
Recycling may be brought to a Waste Disposal Site contained in clear bags.
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
Sorting recycling and garbage at the cottage may look different than it does at home. Use the Waste Wizard App to find out how to sort different waste items.
