In the Township of Douro-Dummer, food waste is not permitted in the garbage. To dispose of food waste, you can:
Composters and digesters can be purchased from our municipal office in Warsaw (please call ahead to ensure availability) or from the County of Peterborough, 705-775-2737 x 0.
Composters and digesters differ in the way they work, the effort involved in installing and maintaining them as well as their final products.
Composters are quick and easy to set up, but require ongoing maintenance to work well.
Composters can accept most yard waste (except for weed seeds and waste contaminated with herbicides or pesticides) and food waste (except for meat, dairy and oil).
Composting can give you excellent organic material that can be used to improve your garden or lawn soil.
Digestors require work upfront to install, but little to no maintenance once they are installed. Digestors can break down small amounts of meat, dairy and oil. The product created through digestion is not appropriate to add to your garden or lawn.
If you prefer not compost or digest in your own backyard, you can drop your food waste off at the Hall's Glen Transfer Station Molok bins free of charge.
What can go into the Molok bins?
Only food waste can be disposed of in the Molok bins. Acceptable food items include:
Food waste can be dumped directly into the Moloks. If you must wrap your food waste use plain paper bags or newspaper.
What cannot go into the Molok bins?
Items that cannot be disposed of in the Molok bins include:
Bags marketed as “compostable” or “biodegradable” do not break down in our system, please use regular paper bags or sheets of newsprint to contain your food waste.
Do not throw any type of plastic into the Molok bins!
While most yard waste will complement backyard composting, it should not be added to digestors, nor is it accepted at the Halls Glen Transfer Station.
