collected on a bi-weekly basis by Teck Northern Roads, working under
contract to the Corporation of the Town of Kirkland Lake. If you

Collection is bi-weekly on the same day as garbage collection. Part of this program includes a central depot system, which is located at 37 Duncan Ave. North (after Goodyear Tire).
Blue Boxes
Items for recycling should be placed in a blue recycling box, next
