2025 TRASH BASH DAY
It’s April, and Earth Day is just around the corner. The Municipality of Marmora and Lake is hosting its annual Trash Bash on April 26, 2025.
Our community belongs to all of us! Let’s keep our neighbourhoods, public parks, waterways, and roadways clean and safe for everyone.
Let’s work together to pick up trash and recycling and properly dispose of it at the municipal landfill and recycling station.

How do I know what’s safe to pick up?
The information sheet in our Trash Bash kit will include a list of items you should not pick up.
