FINFLA Garbage

Garbage

Bags must be tagged and placed in a garbage box for pick up.

By-law #2005-98
Untagged bags of garbage are subject to fines of $350 to a maximum of $5,000.

The garbage box is inspected weekly. Fines are issued by South Frontenac By-law Enforcement Officer.

Tags can be purchased at South Frontenac Township office. They are also on sale at Topper's Convenience Store in Verona and Leonard's Fuels, Hartington.

Garbage patrol

Elaine St. John organizes a list of local residents who take it in turn monthly to patrol the garbage/re-cycling area to deal with untagged bags and incorrectly sorted materials not picked up for re-cycling. We are grateful to all the members of the local community who help to keep this area clean and tidy to prevent animal infestation and health risks.

To volunteer for the garbage patrol contact Elaine at:
