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.

As part of ongoing infrastructure improvements, the Municipality of Leamington is advancing the next phase of the Seacliff Drive East Reconstruction Project. During active construction, Seacliff Drive East will be closed to through traffic between Regatta Drive and Seneca Road, with work expected to begin in early February.

The Municipality of Leamington is pleased to announce the appointment of Tammie Ryall as its new Director of Strategic Initiatives and Municipal Design, effective February 2, 2026.

In this senior leadership role, Ryall will oversee Planning and Development Services, Organizational Excellence, and Communications and Corporate Identity, supporting the Municipality’s strategic priorities and long-term vision for growth, service excellence, and community-building.
