Residents

I want wood chips

Gardens, paths, naturalized areas, or a pile you will spread yourself. Full truckloads only.

List a dump site

Tree crews

I run a tree crew

Empty the box near the job instead of paying a transfer station — and without a platform drop fee.

Built around instructions

The thing that fails on most free dumps is a vague spot. Sites here require a mark, a backup, and a rating after the drop.

Clear mark

Pin on the map, cone on the ground, “dump here / not here.”

Followed instructions

Crews dump only the listed material on the private-property pin.

Both sides rate

After a dump, thumbs up or thumbs down — plus an optional note.

Ontario private property only

Dumping on public land is prohibited. Do not list or dump on parks, road allowances, municipal boulevards, schoolyards, conservation land, or any other public property. Drops are for private property only, with the owner’s permission.
