Notice to Residents – Re: Bylaw 29-2014 Spring Cleaning of Lawns
On Monday May 5, 2025 Council passed the following resolution:
“RESOLVED THAT Council approve temporary relief from by-law 29-2014 to allow residents to deposit winter sand on the street. CARRIED”
What does this mean?
With respect to people raking and power-sweeping the winter sand and grit off their lawns and onto the road allowance, Council has directed Administration to use broad discretion when investigating any complaints and enforcement of this bylaw – as it relates to spring lawn care.
What can go on the road?
**Please do not pile the sand. Leave it spread out no more than two (2) feet from the edge of the road so that it can be picked up by the sweeper.
What should not be put on the road?
Property Owners are responsible for clean-up of any lawn sweepings left on the road after spring sweeping operations have concluded and/or for any of the prohibited materials listed above.
Municipal sweeping operations typically commence mid-spring or as weather permits and conclude by early June. Besides general cleanliness, the streets are swept twice to prevent grit and gravel from entering the storm water system, which diminishes storm water capacity over time.

Council announced the approval of round two of an innovative food composting solution to its residents to test in their homes.
In partnership with Food Cycle Science Corporation, residents of Terrace Bay will have the opportunity to pilot an on-site food waste diversion solution that will reduce the amount of organics headed to the landfill.
The Township of Terrace Bay will be offering 50 FoodCycler™ machines at a subsidized price for residents to use in their homes for a 12-week period. Participants will be expected to track the amount of food waste they have diverted throughout the pilot duration to estimate the total impact of the pilot program.
The Township of Terrace Bay offered the initial pilot program in the fall of 2021, and is excited to offer this program again to reach residents who were not able to partake the first time.
The initial pilot program was extremely well received and the FoodCycler Units were over subscribed! Food Cycle Science Corporation received additional funding from Impact Canada and the Township of Terrace Bay was provided an opportunity to expand on the 2021 program. Both Township Staff and Council felt this project was an opportunity to engage additional residents on the topic of composting, and gather additional data to help inform potential future funding opportunities.
This time the Township of Terrace Bay will be offering two unit sizes, the FoodCycler Eco 3 and the FoodCycler Eco 5. The FoodCycler Eco 3 typically sells for approximately $600, but through this pilot program, residents will only pay $200 plus HST, while the FoodCycler Eco 5 sells for approximately $800 retail, residents will only pay $300 plus HST to obtain their unit.
Residents will need to register online, on a first-come, first served basis with only one unit per household allowed. Registration opened on May 1st, 2025 for the program which starts in the spring. Please watch for further communications from the Township of Terrace Bay on registration details.
Priority for new FoodCycler purchases will be given to Township of Terrace Bay residents who did not participate in the original pilot program; however, if units are leftover, those living in the unincorporated areas may sign up to participate. Successful registered participants will be contacted about purchase and pick up, along with program details in the coming weeks.
Food Cycle Science Corporation is a Canadian company based out of Ottawa, Ontario and was founded in 2011. They are also semi-finalists in the Government of Canada’s Food Waste Reduction Challenge run by Impact Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for their project titled: “Residential On-Site Food Waste Diversion for Northern, Rural, and Remote Communities.”
