WASTE MANAGEMENT UPDATE

The Township has been working towards an expansion of the Osceola Landfill since 2010. In May of 2024 the Township was successful in receiving an expansion for the Osceola Landfill. The expansion is for approximately 30 years, however, 2 emergency expansions equating to about 6 years, were required as the Osceola Landfill was full.  In September 2024 it was estimated that if the Township made no changes to waste management, did not make an effort for diversion of waste and increase recycling our landfill would be full in approximately 16 years.

Changes had to be implemented today to extend the life of our only landfill for tomorrow.

In June 2025, Admaston/Bromley Council passed By-Law 2025-23, being a new Waste Management By-Law that adopts a User Pay System for Waste Disposal.

Beginning September 2, 2025, the Township of Admaston/Bromley is moving to a User Pay System for waste disposal.

Bag Tags will be required to deposit household waste into the Township’s Waste Disposal Sites.  Bag Tags will cost $2.50 each and shall be affixed to each bag of garbage (maximum size of 75L/50lbs.)  All other waste disposal charges (Tipping Fees) can be found in the Fees & Charges By-Law.

Transition to New User Pay System

The Township will be mailing in July 2025 all residential properties that have a legal conforming household/dwelling 36 Courtesy Bag Tags to transition to the new User Pay System.  This is a one-time offer. If you do not receive your Courtesy Bag Tags, please contact the Township Office, phone 613-432-2885 or email info@admastonbromley.com, to see if you qualify for the Courtesy Bag Tags.

All properties that are not residential and do not have a household/dwelling do not qualify for the Courtesy Bag Tags.  Please refer to the Fees & Charges By-Law for the Tipping Fees.

Transparent Garbage Bags

Beginning January 1, 2026, transparent garbage bags are mandatory.  All waste must be placed in transparent garbage bags.

(You can use one small ‘privacy bag’ inside the transparent bag for privacy items.)  Please see the list of FAQs for more answers like this one.

A transparent bag program supports diversion initiatives, like the blue box recycling and the proper disposal of hazardous and prohibited items.
