A message from the District of Muskoka<\/em><\/p>\n

The District of Muskoka recognizes that residents are experiencing missed curbside collection on routes throughout Muskoka.<\/p>\n

Waste Connections of Canada, the District\u2019s curbside collection contractor for garbage, recycling, and organics, is experiencing staffing and driver challenges which have been compounded by recent heatwave temperatures. The District of Muskoka is working closely with Waste Connections of Canada to address the gap in service delivery but has been advised that this may be ongoing throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

There are no changes to your regular pick-up day.<\/p>\n

Residents are also encouraged to contact the Waste Connections of Canada Customer Service department at 705-645-4453 or muskokaresidential@wasteconnections.com.<\/p>\n
