About the Bin Site Transition Plan 
On June 14, 2019, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP) formally directed the District to remove and decommission all unlicensed bin dumpster sites by April 30, 2023.

The District has been working closely with partners and the MECP for approved alternatives to waste collection for water-access and island residents. For more information and to stay updated on the Bin Site Transition Plan, visit www.EngageMuskoka.ca
