Circular Materials introduced a new residential recycling program on January 1, 2026. This new recycling program will only accept recyclables in carts provided by Circular Materials. Therefore, many residents have old recycle boxes or recycle carts that are no longer needed or are incompatible with the new residential recycling program.

Q: Why did the County launch a Green Bin program?

A: The Province of Ontario mandated the collection of food and organic waste through curbside pick-up, public drop-off sites or community composting programs for urban settlement areas in municipalities of a certain population and/or population density. In our County, Amherstburg, LaSalle, Leamington and Tecumseh triggered these population and/or density thresholds. The mandate required these local municipalities to achieve target diversion rates of 50 per cent generated by single-family dwellings in urban settlement areas by 2025.
