That number is a 5 per cent increase over 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase is not ideal, as Muskoka is predicted to run out of landfill space in less than ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The District is expected to kick off its solid waste master plan next year, which will look at options for future disposal capacity and it may include a new landfill. It may also include exporting Muskoka\u2019s waste elsewhere as well as looking at alternatives such as incineration. Ultimately, whether to pursue recommendations from municipal staff will rest with District Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The busiest sites last year were Rosewarne in Bracebridge, Eveleigh in Muskoka Lakes, Beiers in Gravenhurst, and McLean in Lake of Bays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report indicates that usage of the Stisted Transfer Station was lower than expected, considering the area of Huntsville it covers. Stisted averages 46 transactions a day, whereas Rosewarne averages 307.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the numbers are up for 2023, the report indicates they are comparable to 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With files from Tamara de la Vega.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The District of Muskokas\u2019 already stressed waste management facilities continued to see increased use last year.
