Residences are encouraged to use their local designated waste disposal sites (WDS) to dispose of household garbage. Many WDS have areas to dispose of recyclable material free of charge such as cardboard, boxboard, paper, plastics, steel, electronics, household hazardous waste, fire place ashes, and fibre such as leaves, grass clippings, wood shavings, sawdust, and brush. Most municipalities have online web sites that can be searched for hours of operation as well as fees and type of waste or recyclables excepted at their WDS. 

Police ask anyone with information regarding illegal dumping of waste to call your local OPP at 1-888-310-1122. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), where you may be eligible for cash rewards of up to $2,000.
