Turning waste into a resource

Since 1994, the Northwood Transfer Station has accepted recyclables and source separated organic waste from households, businesses and municipalities in the Oshawa-Whitby region and surrounding areas.

We help both commercial and public drive-in customers to make recycling easier, cost effective and efficient.

Every year Northwood keeps 15,000 tons of waste out of Ontario landfills

With a commitment to sustainability and improving the environment, we empower our customers to minimize the volume of waste going to Ontario landfills by facilitating the transfer of recyclable materials to other specialized facilities and its recovery and transformation into new products.

Our expertise. Your good deed.

At Northwood, we accept materials that typically make up more than a third of a municipality’s solid waste stream by weight. When not disposed of properly, these wastes can create environmental hazards and endanger public safety, health, and well-being.

If you want to do your part to keep Ontario green, conserve natural resources and prevent pollution, just drop your waste off at Northwood Transfer Station and feel genuinely good about making a difference.
