Landfill Sites
Landfill Services: What You Need to Know
The Township of South Glengarry provides landfill access to residents on a rotational schedule, and only waste generated within the township will be accepted, out-of-town waste will be refused and must be disposed of through alternative arrangements. These measures help ensure compliance with Environmental Compliance Approvals and preserve landfill capacity for local residents. Effective August 5, 2025, By-law 2025-28 (Collection and Management of Solid Waste) comes into effect, introducing changes to waste accepted at landfills: residential and agricultural materials will only be accepted if transported in a dump trailer of 5 cubic metres or smaller, and Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (IC&I) waste will no longer be accepted. For more information, please contact the Township’s Infrastructure Department.
