# Landfill & Waste Diversion
## Landfill Information
The landfill site is located at 201 Fossmill Road and open as follows:
| | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| November to February 14th, 2026 | Saturday | 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. |
| | Wednesday | 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. |

| | **Wednesday** | **9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.** |
With the passing of By-law No. 2009-35, effective December 1, 2009, Chisholm residents now have a bag limiting system.
As of December 1, 2009 the bag limit has been changed to 78 bags per year for residents; vacant property owners have a limit of 16 bags while commercial and industrial owners have a limit of 195 bags. Should people exceed this limit, they will have to pay for every extra bag. Residents will also be allowed one free half-ton truck or trailer load of waste each year.
If you have your garbage picked up by the private contractor, he has already been given your Pass Card and will look after it for you. He will also provide the landfill attendant with a list of his customers' names so they can take advantage of the free load per year. *Private garbage pick-up is available by contacting Patricia Bainbridge at 705-978-3059.*
##### **VERY IMPORTANT!**
As of May 1, 2013 no household garbage is accepted at the landfill site unless it is placed in clear or tinted bags, making the contents visible to the landfill staff. This will ensure that no recyclable materials and/or hazardous waste are disposed of in our landfill, therefore extending the life of our existing site.
If you prefer to use grocery bags or regular kitchen catchers, these will **have to be emptied into the large clear bags**. The only exception will be the "privacy bag".
To address transparency concerns regarding personal items related to personal/hygiene waste, one "privacy bag", not larger than 20" x 22" will be acceptable per large clear bag.
For general information about the landfill site, you can refer to the By-law 2008-21.
Refer to the **Recycling** section for information about what materials are recyclable and **Household Hazardous Waste** section about which materials should be brought to the Household Hazardous Waste Depot.
Please remember, it is very important to bring your Landfill Pass Card with you everytime you go to the landfill site, ortherwise your garbage will be refused.

## Electronic Waste
**RECYCLE YOUR ELECTRONICS**
The Landfill has a designated area for dropping off used or broken electronic waste. There is no cost or limit to dropping off electronic waste. Ask the Landfill Attendant where to deposit your E-Waste.
With newer, more hi-tech electronics continuously becoming available to fit our lifestyles, we are replacing older models at rapid rates. As a result, electronics are becoming one of the fastest growing portions of trash. Electronic equipment is accepted at the Chisholm landfill site, so giving new life to your dated electronics is easier than you think!
**Items collected:** Amplifiers, Cameras, Cell phones, Computer peripherals, Copiers/Printers, Fax machines, Monitors and TVs, Pagers and PDAs, Portable audio players, Portable computers, Speakers, Stereo systems, Telephones and Answering machines, Tuners, Turntables, Vehicle audio and vehicle devices, VHS, Beta and DVD players, Video projectors
This is a FREE service that encourages waste diversion. The Environmental Handling Fee (EHF) you likely paid on purchasing new electronics covers collection, transportation and procession of electronic waste, as well as research and educational programs to promote responsible management of end-of-life electronics.
