A punch card is required to deposit household waste at the landfill sites. One punch entitles the holder to one bag of household waste. Punch cards are issued on an annual basis and are valid from August 1st to July 31st. Additional punch cards can be purchased from the Municipal Office.
We want your feedback!
Earlier this year, the Municipality conducted a public survey (March 19 to May 5, 2026) to gather input on potential changes to landfill hours. A total of 275 responses were received, with the majority of respondents indicating general satisfaction with current hours but also identifying key priorities for any future adjustments. Based on this feedback, Council is now seeking additional input on a revised proposal for landfill hours.
Why Are We Consulting Again?
While survey results showed general support for adjusting landfill hours, they also highlighted several important concerns, including:
-strong preference for maintaining midweek access;
-desire for earlier opening times, especially on weekends; and
-concerns about garbage storage and wildlife attraction, particularly in summer.
In response, Council is proposing a revised approach that aims to better balance:
-accessibility and convenience for residents;
-environmental and safety considerations; and
-staff scheduling and operational efficiency.
This proposed schedule maintains the same total weekly hours as the current system while:
-preserving 9:00 a.m. weekend openings;
-spreading availability across four separate days between the two sites;
-providing weekday access; and
-keeping weekday hours scheduled during daylight due to no power at the sites.
Have Your Say!
We encourage all residents to review the proposed hours and share their feedback, including:
-how the revised schedule would impact your household;
-whether the balance of weekday and weekend access works for you; and
-any additional suggestions or concerns.

Dutchak's is equipped to remove the freon and recycle the metal. There is no charge to you for bringing the freon-filled item in. Accepted fridges and freezers must be cleaned out and not contain any spoiled food in them.
If a product is marked DANGER or POISON, it is toxic, corrosive or extremely flammable. WARNING or CAUTION indicates that the product is slightly toxic. Incorrect disposal of any of these products can endanger people, pets and the environment.
You can drop off such materials at the City of Thunder Bay Household Hazardous Waste Depot Landfill Site 5405 Mapleward Road. There is no disposal fee charged
