The Provincial Day of Action on Litter is celebrated on the second Tuesday of May each year in Ontario.

We are taking action to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills or becoming litter by bringing awareness to the impacts of waste on our environment and encouraging people to take action at home and in their community to help keep our environment clean and healthy for generations to come.

There are actions we can all take to put litter in its proper place.   

You can do this by:

  • Reducing waste: giving old products new life instead of throwing them away. For example, using old containers for storage or supporting second-hand clothing stores as opposed to buying new.
  • Diverting waste: recycling or composting materials when and where possible to divert waste away from landfills. For example, by using your blue and green bins. When cleaning up litter, make sure you properly separate out recyclables.  
  • Preventing waste and litter: stopping waste before it's created, and before it has the chance to become litter. For example, by choosing to buy goods with less packaging or by bringing a reusable cup to take-out establishments that accept them.
  • Cleaning up litter: helping to keep your community clean by picking up and properly disposing of litter, or by organizing a community litter cleanup for others.   
  • Properly disposing of waste: making sure anything that does belong in the trash, is securely placed in garbage bins to help keep our neighbourhoods clean.

If you want to report littering or illegal dumping in your community you can report littering to your municipality by submitting a complaint through Access E11 

Thank you for helping us to keep our province clean and litter-free!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please visit the garbage and recycling collection route map to see which day your waste will be collected.

Missed pickups need to be directly reported to the contractor so that they are aware of these problems, and can improve their service.


Submit your missed pickup online at https://www.northglengarry.ca/residents/report-a-problem/. The submission also goes to the Township so we can enforce non-performance fees on the contractor if they are at fault and the issue isn’t resolved within 24 hrs.

Let’s work together to hold our waste contractor accountable.

Waste should be set to the curb by 6am on collection days. If your materials are not arranged before the contractor arrives, they will unfortunately be left behind.

It is important to note, the contractor is not required to make additional trips for waste collections that were not at the curb, or to inform the Township about minor routing adjustments such as start time changes for drivers.

The contractor may arrive to pick up your garbage and recycling anywhere from 6:00am to 6:00pm. If your waste has not been collected by 6:00pm, please let us know here

This allows us to share these reports with the contractor more efficiently, and possibly charge them back for service issues.

North Glengarry contracts waste collection to HGC Management Inc. Should you need to reach them, you can call them at 613-933-0202

Additional garbage tags can be purchased at the Township office. Tags are $3 each and can be affixed to each additional bag.

As of January 1, 2025, North Glengarry transitioned to the province's Blue Box Program. The province has contracted Circular Materials to administer provincial recycling programs. 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. 

As of August 21, 2026, businesses producing a residential amount of recycling will be able to deposit their items at the Waste Diversion Depot at 265 Industrial Blvd, Alexandria on Fridays from 8am - 4pm. Businesses must sign up their company before bringing recycling to the depot. Register your small business by emailing pwadmin@northglengarry.ca.
