Giveaway Days
Residents of Loyalist Township are encouraged to take part in the "Giveaway
Days" on June 18 and October 22. This initiative is being offered to promote
the re-use of all unwanted goods. Travel throughout the Township and see
what your neighbours are giving away.
How it works: Starting at 7 a.m. on the designated days, place any unwanted
household items at the curb or end of the driveway and mark it "Free".
Only take items that are marked "Free" and do not leave picked-up items on
other people's property. Once you pick an item up it becomes your property
and responsibility.
Respect other people's property. Please do not walk on their grass, or block
sidewalks or roads with your items. Remove any items that are not taken from
your property by 5 p.m. on the same day. It is your responsibility to remove
any items from the curb as Loyalist Township will not be collecting these items
for disposal.
Item Precautions: The consumer Product Safety Bureau of Health Canada
advises that baby walkers, infant self-feeding devices, elongated tipped lawn
darts, and poly-carbonate baby bottles (BPA) are illegal to sell or give away.
For further information visit Health Canada's website at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
If you require further information on the Giveaway Days, please call
613-386-7351, email [email protected] or visit www.loyalist.ca.

Municipal Information
Call Before You Dig!
Loyalist Township is a member of Ontario One Call
(ON1Call), a free service that facilitates locates for

the cost of repairs, and any legal claims for property damage
or personal injury to others.
The Township's operating and capital budgets form the basis for the annual
tax levy requirements and property tax rates, in addition to water and sewer
connection charges and user rates. The Township publishes audited financial
statements and performance measurements annually. The most recently
