Be safe at Dysart landfills

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise at an alarming rate, a province-wide shutdown started on Saturday, December 26, 2020. Public health regions, including the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit will remain in shutdown until at least January 23, 2021.

The purpose of the shutdown is to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in communities, and preserve health system capacity.

At this time, Dysart's five landfills remain open during regular winter hours.

When using a Dysart landfill, remember to show your valid landfill identification user card.

When visiting a Dysart landfill, remember to practice physical distancing. Try to keep 2 metres (6 feet) between you and other site users when dropping off items.

If you are dropping off items at the Haliburton, Harcourt or West Guilford Landfills that require a payment, please try to pay by debit card or credit card. We can even email or text the receipt to you! Paying by debit card or credit card will help reduce the amount of cash being handled by users and staff.

Remember that garbage must be in clear bags. Disposable face masks, disposable gloves, and used sanitizer wipes go in the garbage.

And recycling must be sorted into Papers and Containers. Empty hand sanitizer bottles and empty sanitizer wipes tubs go in Recycling for Containers.
