Keeping Molega Clean, Safe, and Wild

The Molega Lakes region is known for its clean shorelines, healthy forests, and abundant
wildlife. Protecting this environment is a shared responsibility, and proper waste handling is
essential to keeping our community safe and beautiful.

The Region of Queens Municipality (RQM) is the sole provider of waste, recycling, and
compost services for our area. GMLLOA does not operate or manage garbage collection.
For sorting rules, schedules, and disposal guidelines, please visit the Region of Queens
Waste Services page https://www.regionofqueens.com/municipal-
services/works/waste-management


Household Garbage & Compost
Please help keep Molega clean and wildlife safe by following these guidelines:

- Place all household garbage inside the designated grey bins.
- Use compost containers only for approved organic materials.
- Never leave garbage, food waste, or recyclables outside the bins.
If a bin is full, use another location rather than leaving items beside the container.

Loose garbage attracts wildlife, creates unnecessary cleanup, and harms the environment we
all enjoy.

Illegal Dumping & Misuse of Grey Bins
Illegal dumping remains a serious problem in the Molega area.

To protect our lakes and forests, GMLLOA asks all members not to place the following in or
beside the grey bins:

- Hazardous materials (paint, solvents, oils, propane tanks, batteries, chemicals)
- Construction or demolition waste
- Furniture, appliances, or bulky items
- Electronics
- Tires
- Any material not accepted in regular household waste

These items must be taken to an approved disposal facility.
Where to Take Hazardous or Restricted Waste
