Solid Waste Master Plan: To guide waste management for the next 30 years.

At the District of Muskoka, we are exploring options to guide Muskoka’s waste management goals and objectives for the next 30 years. The Solid Waste Master Plan (SWMP) is a long-term plan on how waste should be managed within our community. We are looking for your input on the waste programs, education, and services we provide, as well as potential new programs.

One of the District’s key priorities is waste reduction, and we have ambitious targets:

  • Reduce garbage generation by 10% by 2030, 25% by 2050.
  • Divert 60% of all solid waste from landfill by 2030, 80% by 2050.
Have questions in the meantime? Residents are welcome to reach out with any questions related to the project by emailing waste@muskoka.on.ca or by calling 705-645-2100.
