Leamington Residents to Join EWSWA Green Bin Program in 2026

The Municipality of Leamington is informing residents that while the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority’s (EWSWA) new Green Bin Program is currently being rolled out in Phase 1 communities (Essex, Lakeshore, LaSalle, Tecumseh, and Windsor), Leamington will be included in Phase 2 of the regional project. Green Bin delivery and collection in Leamington are scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026.

The Green Bin Program is an important step forward in waste diversion for our region, providing households with a convenient way to dispose of food scraps and other organic waste, keeping it out of landfills and turning it into valuable fertilizer for next year’s crops and renewable energy.

Phase 2 municipalities include Leamington, Amherstburg and Kingsville. Residents in these communities can expect to receive their Green Bin kits in fall 2026, with collection beginning shortly thereafter. More details will be provided to Leamington residents next year to ensure a smooth rollout.

Residents with questions about the Green Bin Program can visit the EWSWA Customer Service Support page or call 1-800-563-3377. Additional information is available online at ewswa.org.
