Curbside Recycling is Starting Soon!
Starting in October 2026, residents will have access to a new curbside recycling program, making it easier to recycle more packaging and paper materials from home.

New 360-litre recycling carts will be delivered to homes and residences in mid-to-late September, with the first collection tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12, 2026.

Before the program begins, there are a few things residents should know, including what can go in your recycling cart, how to prepare your recycling and where to place your cart on collection day. Residents will also receive a recycling guide in the mail from Circular Materials with information to help you get ready for the new program.

We’ll continue sharing important information and reminders as we get closer to the launch.
