Removal or Decommissioning of Cottage Lot Structures and Sewage Systems

What do I do with the waste materials?

All waste building materials must be removed from the park at the cottagers expense. The park’s Molok waste management system is not designed to handle construction and demolition waste and waste cannot be disposed of on the cottage lot or elsewhere in the park. Adjacent municipalities may or may not accept waste from Algonquin cottage lots if you are not a resident of that municipality. Check with each municipality to determine if you can take material to their landfill site. Another option is to dispose of building materials through a waste disposal company or use a local contractor for decommissioning. You may consider having a bin brought in to deal with your construction waste, however, please contact the cottage lot program well in advance to discuss the logistics of having a bin brought to a public access point. In some situations a cottager may even choose to bring a bin to the cottage lot on a barge (see section on barges below).
