Lambton County is responsible for providing waste disposal facilities to receive and dispose of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by the local municipalities.
The County-owned Dawn Landfill continues to operate and accept MSW. The County also utilizes the privately-owned Twin Creeks Landfill in the Township of Warwick for disposal needs and has a long-term agreement with Waste Management of Canada ensuring the County has disposal capacity up to 2035 for MSW generated by the local municipalities.
