This application is for consideration of garbage and organics collections via a Common Collection Point (CCP).

The review process will take place on a first come, first service basis. No application will be reviewed until the applicable fees have been paid and all required documentation provided. You can follow the progress of your application through Permit Central.
 
Please ensure to fill out the Bin Placement Form for Area Municipality approval before applying – it can be found HERE .
 
PLEASE NOTE: Recycling collection is now managed province-wide by Circular Materials and is no longer managed by the District of Muskoka. Circular Materials is required to match our current service level, but the District cannot guarantee the collection of blue box recyclables at the curb. For updates and information, visit the Circular Materials website.

PLEASE NOTE: That approval of a CCP on a private road or property does not guarantee continued approval if the property ownership changes. The District does not have the authority to coordinate agreements between private owners.
