Large Item Collection

A special collection of items is scheduled for all residents on your regular collection day the week of May 26, 2025. Large items are not part of the items regularly collected at the roadside. Please do not put your large items in regular garbage bags. Respect your bag limit of 2 bags. The option for additional bags is available but bag tags are required and 50lbs per bag maximum. Bag tags are priced at $3.00 each and can be purchased at the Municipal Office (6 Oak Street, Lancaster). Tags are also available for purchase on our website (Account Information: One Time Payment: South Glengarry) and they will be mailed directly to you please add an additional $2.00 charge for postage.

If you’re unsure if an item you would like to place curbside is accepted or not, please reach out to infrastructure@southglengarry.com or call 613-347-1166

Illegal Dumping

Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem. It's not just a township beautification issue, it's an issue that can have many other effects on the environment and on residents.

When you contact us regarding illegally dumped garbage, one of our Township staff members will investigate the complaint. If the garbage is on Township property, Township staff will clean up the items.

If the garbage is dumped illegally on residential property the Township will make every effort to enforce our bylaws relating to the unlawful dumping. Call 613-347-1166 to report illegal dumping, or email our bylaw officer pmarion@southglengarry.com
