Blue Box Recycling Program

As of July 2, 2025, the province will be responsible for residential recycling in West Nipissing. All Ontario municipalities will have transitioned to the provincial blue box program by January 2026.

Circular Materials, a not-for-profit organization, is managing recycling programs across the province and is currently working with the Municipality to ensure a smooth transition. GFL Environmental Inc. has been retained by the province to handle recycling collection at the curb and at recycling depots. West Nipissing Environmental Services will continue to collect curbside garbage on a weekly basis, on the same day as usual.
