Recyclng is serious business in the Township of Rideau Lakes. Fines can be incurred if completed incorrectly or not at all. To maintain the beauty of our region and prolong the life of our waste sites, it is imperative that everyone practice the 3 R’s: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.

THE TOWNSHIP REQUESTS THE FOLLOWING:
​
“IT IS NECESSARY TO FLATTEN ALL PLASTICS AND METAL CONTAINERS BEFORE RECYCLING THEM. IF EVERYONE FLATTENS THEIR PLASTICS & METAL CONTAINERS THERE WILL BE A SAVINGS OF SPACE, TIME AND MONEY. IT WILL MAKE OUR RECYCLING PROGRAM MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE.”
