The Public Works Department is continuing their spring maintenance schedule, while practicing distance separation from each other and the public.

The Tennyson landfill site remains open to the public during regular hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. every Saturday. Our attendant is diligent in physical distancing and self-sanitizing practices. We thank you for your patience and your part in physical distancing and adherence to landfill operations. This will allow us to keep the landfill site open to the public during the Covid-19 health crisis.

****For the safety of our landfill attendant it has been deemed that there will be no scheduled ‘clean up days’ this spring to discourage the additional attendance at the landfill site. It is anticipated that Fall Clean Up Days can be planned.****

Please ensure all loads are properly secured and covered to prevent debris from blowing out of your vehicle or trailer!

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic GFL is taking necessary steps to optimize operations and ensure continued service during this difficult time, while ensuring the safety of their workers.

Please dispose of these in your garbage.

The Township will provide for the purchase of bag tags at the Township office, 11 Birch Lake Road, every Wednesday from 9 am to 12 pm. Payment must be by debit only.
