Garbage & Recycling

North Glengarry recycles and is proud of it! As of January 1, 2025, we will be transitioning to the province's Blue Box Program. The province has contracted Circular Materials to administer provincial recycling programs. Residential property owners will still receive the same collection services, continuing with the collection of different types of recycling materials on alternate weeks.

CHANGES FOR INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PROPERTY OWNERS

The provincially mandated Individual Producer Responsibility (IRP) Plan requires that Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (IC&I) properties source their own collection services by January 1, 2025 to ensure that recyclables are disposed of properly. These changes are meant to create a more efficient and effective recycling system, and incentivize producers to use more sustainable packaging. All IC&I property owners within North Glengarry have been notified of these changes.

The Provincial Day of Action on Litter is celebrated on the second Tuesday of May each year in Ontario.

We are taking action to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills or becoming litter by bringing awareness to the impacts of waste on our environment and encouraging people to take action at home and in their community to help keep our environment clean and healthy for generations to come.

There are actions we can all take to put litter in its proper place.   

You can do this by:

  • Reducing waste: giving old products new life instead of throwing them away. For example, using old containers for storage or supporting second-hand clothing stores as opposed to buying new.
  • Diverting waste: recycling or composting materials when and where possible to divert waste away from landfills. For example, by using your blue and green bins. When cleaning up litter, make sure you properly separate out recyclables.  
  • Preventing waste and litter: stopping waste before it's created, and before it has the chance to become litter. For example, by choosing to buy goods with less packaging or by bringing a reusable cup to take-out establishments that accept them.
  • Cleaning up litter: helping to keep your community clean by picking up and properly disposing of litter, or by organizing a community litter cleanup for others.   
  • Properly disposing of waste: making sure anything that does belong in the trash, is securely placed in garbage bins to help keep our neighbourhoods clean.

If you want to report littering or illegal dumping in your community you can report littering to your municipality by submitting a complaint through Access E11 

Thank you for helping us to keep our province clean and litter-free!

DROP-OFF: E-waste can be dropped off at R.A.R.E. from Monday to Friday (other than holidays), between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm. until December 31, 2024.
