Some examples of acceptable waste items are:

  • General Household Waste (Garbage)
  • Waste Wood*
  • Appliances
  • Mattresses and Box Springs
  • Drywall
  • Asphalt Shingles

In addition to the above regular acceptable waste items, the Township Landfill will also accept the following at no charge:

  • E-waste
  • Tires (off the rim)
  • Scrap Metal
  • Clean Wood*
  • Yard Waste

These items are collected and diverted for recycling or repurposing to help reduce the amount of waste ending up in our landfill. These diversion practices serve to increase recycling and reuse of materials but it also helps extend the active life of the landfill.

*Please note, there is a distinction between clean wood and waste wood. Clean wood is defined as solid wood or lumber that contains no paint, stains, glues and/or chemical treatment – wood that does not meet the definition will be charged as waste wood per the current Fees and Charges By-law.

In order to extend the service life of the South Easthope Landfill site, the Township has undertaken an assessment to expand the existing waste disposal site to meet demand for an additional 15 years. Posted below is a Notice of Completion of an Environmental Screening Report which allows for a 60-day review period starting May 1, 2023 and ending July 1, 2023.” Further attached is the complete Environmental Screening Report and the revised Design & Operations Plan which have been prepared by the Townships retained consultant, Azimuth Environmental Consulting.

Perth County Open Air Fire Ban Lifted

PERTH COUNTY (August 25, 2025) – Effective at noon today, thanks to the recent rainfall, the open air fire ban will be lifted in the County of Perth, including the City of Stratford. Burn permits can now be issued and must abide by the respective municipality’s open air burn by-law.
With the monitoring of rainfall and vegetation conditions, Fire Chiefs are confident that residents can now safely burn. Please continue to practice safe burning by doing the following:

  •  Call your local fire department to obtain an open air burn permit.
  •  Closely supervise all outdoor fires. Make sure the fire is out before leaving the area.
  • Ensure that your open fire is the correct distance from all structures and other combustible materials.
  •  Never burn plastics, household garbage, construction debris, treated lumber or other laminate wood, tires, ashphalt products, pesticides, paint or aerosol containers, etc. These contain toxins that are harmful to people, animals and the environment when burned.
  • Avoid burning on windy days and be aware of wind direction when deciding to burn.
  • Never use gasoline or other flammable combustible liquids.

Have a source of water or equipment to move dirt/sand to extinguish the fire if necessary.
With weather conditions changing frequently during the summer months, we advise that the burn ban may be put back in place at anytime, if dry conditions return.
Farmers are still encouraged to be very careful with combining, as field fires can quickly overtake equipment, neighbouring crops and can spread quickly into adjacent woodlands. Having a fire extinguisher on board large equipment is highly recommended.
If you discover an uncontrolled/unattended open air fire, it is very important that you report fires immediately to 9-1-1. Do not delay reporting while attempting to control or extinguish the fire.
The Fire Chiefs in these municipalities wish to thank residents and visitors alike for their patience and co-operation during the fire ban.
If you have any questions regarding this order, please contact your local Fire Department.
