Garbage Drop-off

The County of Wellington operates one landfill site and five transfer stations. All rural and urban households and businesses within the County of Wellington (excludes City of Guelph) may use any of the sites. The landfill site accepts large and small loads, and the transfer stations only accept small loads. Please consider reuse options before landfilling items others might find useful.
