Garbage & Recycling

The Township of Huron Kinloss provides a recycling program to help residents reduce their waste.  We operate and maintain two landfill sites (Huron and Kinloss), provide household and commercial garbage collection weekly, as well as a fall leaf collection.  Residents within the village limits of Lucknow have their garbage and recycle goods taken to the Mid-Huron Landfill site.

Both garbage and recycle pick-up for Huron-Kinloss are carried out by a contractor, Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling (BASWR).  For further information, or to report a missed pick up please call: BASWR at 1-800-794-9770.
