Garbage and Recycling - General Info

North Glengarry recycling bins

North Glengarry recycles and is proud of it! As of January 1, 2025, we will be transitioning to the province's Blue Box Program. The province has contracted Circular Materials to administer provincial recycling programs. Residential property owners will still receive the same collection services, continuing with the collection of different types of recycling materials on alternate weeks.

CHANGES FOR INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PROPERTY OWNERS

The provincially mandated Individual Producer Responsibility (IRP) Plan requires that Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (IC&I) properties source their own collection services by January 1, 2025 to ensure that recyclables are disposed of properly. These changes are meant to create a more efficient and effective recycling system, and incentivize producers to use more sustainable packaging. All IC&I property owners within North Glengarry have been notified of these changes.
