Waste management is one of the biggest challenges for the county’smunicipalities. It took Algonquin Highlands township nearly a decade toget provincial approval for an expansion of the Maple Lake landfill anexpansion that has given that site a life expectancy of nearly anothercentury. As residents we can do our part to prolong the life span ofthat facility by diverting as much waste as possible through responsible sorting and recycling and by purchasing sustainable and reusableproducts.
