Garbage & Recycling
Montague runs a curbside collection program through Glenview Iron and Metal (GIM) for garbage pickup and Emterra Group for recycling pickup. Make sure you put your garbage and recycling at the curbside by 7:00 am on the scheduled day of collection. Only household garbage will be collected on pickup days.
Rosedale Hall
The Hall and Park area is used by a variety of community organizations and members for meetings, celebrations and fundraisers. And thanks to the $143,500 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in June of 2023, people of all abilities will be able to access the building and the park area.
Previous funding was received from OTF in 2018 to put in the current play structure and upgrade the interior of the Hall. The Township wanted to grow off the previous grant and make the play area and parking more accessible to everyone, so the parking lot was pulverized, new granular base and new asphalt was placed, along with a paved pathway to the play structure. An accessible swing has been installed and a small area for basketball. Funding was received through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund for the installation of public Wi-Fi, a generator and chain link fencing around the playground areas.
It is very important for Council and Staff that we grow in an inclusive and accessible direction for all. These grants have allowed needed renovations to be made.
This wheelchair-accessible community hall located at 657 Rosedale Road South in Smiths Falls, and is available for the public to rent.
Capacity is 208 standing, and 150 for sitting.
