Curbside Recycling Collection

Curbside recycling collection will take place every second week on the same day as your garbage collection. To find your garbage/recycling collection date, view the Waste Management Calendar on our Recycle Coach page.

The Township employs a single-stream recycling program, which means all recyclables are collected in one bin and sorted and processed at the recycling facility. 

Remember:

  • Residents are not required to sort their recycling in separate containers. All recyclables can be placed in the same bin. 
  • During the winter months, please ensure your recycling is free of snow and ice and visible. 
  • Secure your recyclables to ensure loose paper and light materials remain in recycle bins. 
  • Emptied and dried paint cans can be placed for recycling
  • Garbage and recycling collection begins at 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. Please ensure all items are placed at the curb prior to 7:00 a.m.
  • Flatten cardboard and set beside recycling bin in bundles of no more than 1m x 1m x 30 cm.
