News and Updates

News Post
Due to the warmer temperatures over the weekend, some private roads within the Township of North Kawartha have become very icy or muddy, making curbside garbage and recycling collection difficult to perform safely today.

If your garbage or recycling has not been collected by 6:00 p.m. today (Monday, March 9, 2026), residents are asked to please bring their materials back from the curbside.

Emterra and Waste Connections will be recording roads or addresses that could not be serviced today and will be collecting double garbage and recycling on the next scheduled collection date on Monday, March 16, 2026.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as Waste Connections and Emterra work to complete curbside collection safely.
