Changes to the Province-wide Recycling Program - January 1, 2026

Circular Materials Ontario (CMO) manages recycling services throughout Ontario.

New items have been added to the list of recyclable materials.

See the full list of accepted materials:  2026-recyclable-material-list - Circular Materials 

Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (IC&I) businesses, including places of worship, municipal buildings, daycares, commercial farms, charities, campgrounds, and trailer parks, will no longer receive curbside recycling collection and are now responsible for establishing and managing their own recycling programs in accordance with provincial regulations.

To help ease this transition, the Township is accepting IC&I recyclable materials at the 6th Line Transfer Station.  This commenced on January 5, 2026.

Residential properties will continue to receive curbside recycling collection.
