he Canadian Lakes Yard Waste will be open Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and will be OPEN every Wednesday and Sunday (except for Easter Sunday, 04-17-22) from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., April through November 30, 2022. As open burning of yard wastes is not allowed in Canadian Lakes and to preclude the dumping of these wastes on neighboring lots and common areas, which is prohibited, the yard waste site was established to provide CLPOC members in good standing with a place to dispose of their residential yard waste. The Canadian Lakes Yard Waste is located on the south side of Pierce Road between 110th Ave. and Tullymore Dr. To gain access you will need a 2022 CLPOC ID, vehicle sticker, or guest pass. Items allowed to be brought to Canadian Lakes Yard Waste include tree and shrub branches and limbs less than 4” in diameter, and plant-based materials normally associated with residential yard maintenance such as grass clippings, leaves, and discarded mulch and plants. The following are NOT allowed to be left at Canadian Lakes Yard Waste: garbage, including food scraps such as rinds, peels, cores, etc., fireplace or campfire ashes, and yard waste containers or plastic bags. Also, do NOT deposit your yard waste outside the gate when it is not open. When depositing your yard wastes, please place them as far off the road and on top of or behind previously dumped wastes. This helps to minimize the number of times that “push backs” are needed, thus minimizing operational costs. If your vehicle sticker is easily visible, the attendant will give you a friendly wave when you enter but will stop you if he/she doesn’t see the sticker on your vehicle or if the sticker is not current. The friendly yard waste attendants are all volunteers and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Please drive slowly when entering the facility to prevent raising a dust and endangering other depositors. We are currently in need of additional volunteers to fill our 2022 schedule. Only two hours a month with no physical work involved. Everything you need will be provided. Should you have any questions related to Canadian Lakes Yard Waste or should you want to volunteer to help at the site, please contact Roger Stobert, Yard Waste Coordinator, 231-288-0148 or spankky@charter. net.
