Friendly reminder GLASS is NOT accepted as a recyclable by the recycling provider and therefore residents are requested to put glass in with their regular garbage.

Laird Township is located thirty miles east of Sault Ste. Marie along the Highway 17 corridor. Due to its close proximity to the Village of Echo Bay and the City of Sault Ste. Marie, Laird Township provides its residents and tourists with direct access to all the conveniences of the larger community while at the same time maintaining a relaxing atmosphere. Accessibility to water bodies as well as open fields and wooded areas allow for endless seasonal activities for the young and old alike. Collectively these factors make the Township of Laird an enjoyable place to live.
