Update on Recycling Collection for Leamington Businesses and Not-for-Profit Organizations
Back to SearchOn behalf of the Essex Windsor Solid Waste Authority (EWSWA), the Municipality of Leamington would like to remind local businesses and not-for-profit organizations of important updates regarding recycling collection services. The EWSWA has always managed recycling collection in the region, and the Municipality of Leamington does not oversee the recycling collection contract.
As of August 28, 2024, residential recycling collection in the region transitioned to a new producer responsibility model as a result of the Waste-Free Ontario Act. Under this new system, Circular Materials has taken over the management of residential recycling, with GFL serving as the collection contractor. Please note, however, that this transition only applies to residential and multi-residential recycling collection.
For businesses and not-for-profit organizations, recycling collection services are not covered under the new producer responsibility system. To continue offering recycling collection to non-eligible sources (NES), the EWSWA has implemented a specialized program. Businesses and not-for-profit organizations were required to register for the NES Recycling Program to ensure continued recycling services.
EWSWA has been communicating via email with registered businesses and not-for-profit organizations regarding the new NES Recycling Program and changes to their curbside collection services. New program information, including schedule changes, was sent by EWSWA via email in late August.
Leamington businesses and not-for-profit organizations are encouraged to check their emails regularly for updates from EWSWA to stay informed of any changes. If you did not register for the NES Recycling Program or have questions or concerns regarding recycling collection for businesses and not-for-profit organizations, please contact EWSWA directly at 1-800-563-3377 or via email at nes@ewswa.org.
