Waste

The Association is pleased to offer the following waste service to your community:

• A user pay program is in effect. The most benefits are gained when a little effort is put forth. Those who produce the least waste pay the least! This is an excellent opportunity for you to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as you can.
• As of 2024, the waste fees were set at $124.56 for a small bin, $176.46 for a medium bin, and $233.55 for a large bin.  All prices are set by the Municipality and subject to change without notice.  The Association publishes this information for convenience only and does not guarantee its accuracy.

Organic Waste

• There is no scheduled curbside collection service for source separate organic materials and leaf and yard waste collection in your community.
• We encourage you to use a backyard composter or a digester to manage this type of material. Managing materials as close to the source as possible is usually the best approach from an economic and environmental perspective.
• Leaves raked onto the street or ditch will not be collected. This poses a danger to pedestrians, bicycles and motorists and can cause drainage problems.
• Yard waste can also be dropped off at your local Leaf & Yard waste site. See a map of all Leaf and Yard Waste sites here. Note that not all sites can accept all materials, please call ahead to avoid any disappointments and some may charge a nominal fee to drop off your materials.

Hazardous Waste

• Hazardous materials can be dangerous to people as well as the environment. Be sure to bring your hazardous products to the special depots so that they can be disposed of properly.
• The County of Middlesex in collaboration with the City of London operates a Household Hazardous Waste depots on the last two Saturday of the month from 9am until 3pm. Contact the site at 519-661-4585 for more information. The site is located at 3502 Manning Drive, off of Wellington Road South.
• Some retailers take back some materials. For more information on the location and types of materials accepted visit this website.
• Agriculture and industry may produce the most hazardous waste by volume and mass, but the biggest threat to the majority of Canadians is our homes. Our closets, cupboards, basements and garages are full of hazardous products, which are also known as household hazardous waste. Products are considered hazardous when they are corrosive, reactive, flammable, toxic and/or radioactive.
• Dangers associated with a product can be reduced through careful shopping or by using safer alternatives. To get a list of safer alternatives, click here.

Bulky Waste

Some materials are just not made to be disposed of curbside.  Whether you are a resident doing a spring clean up, a renovation project, or you have oversize items to dispose of, you can use a containerized service like those offered by Mars Environmental or you can bring it directly to the local landfill.

Your local landfill is:
