Blue Recycling Carts Coming to Leamington

Leamington residents will soon receive new blue recycling carts as part of the region’s transition to a single-stream recycling system, beginning January 1, 2026.

The new program, led by Circular Materials, introduces a single-stream recycling system. Instead of separating items into blue and red bins, all accepted materials will go together in one blue cart. When your cart is delivered, please store it until the new system officially begins on January 1, 2026.

Residents are reminded that this recycling program is managed by Circular Materials, not by the Municipality of Leamington or the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority (EWSWA).

This initiative is separate from and in addition to the Green Bin program, which will launch in Leamington in the fall of 2026. The Green Bin program, managed by EWSWA, will introduce curbside collection of food and organic waste.

For details about the transition to single-stream recycling, including delivery schedules, accepted materials, and answers to frequently asked questions, visit Circular Materials' Leamington webpage.

More information will be shared with residents in the coming weeks as it becomes available.
