Municipal recycling drop-off depots across Ontario will be closing or changing operations effective January 1, 2026, as part of Ontario’s transition to a producer-funded Blue Box recycling system operated by Circular Materials. Under this new system, responsibility for recycling shifts from municipalities to producers.
Curbside recycling will remain the primary method of collection. While some unstaffed recycling depots (public recycling bins) will be discontinued, residents will continue to have access to recycling services at municipal landfill sites and select depot locations.

Residents will continue to have access to recycling services at the following locations:
- Sturgeon Falls Landfill
- Verner Landfill
- Field Landfill
- Kipling Landfill
- Lavigne Landfill
