Recycling Schedule and Calendar
Click on the Recycle Calendar below to see and print the collection schedule and what items can be put out on "blue" and "yellow" weeks. Printed copies are available at our 4432 George Street or 2490 Keeley Road Township offices. If you are new to the area, please see the Collection maps and charts on this page to determine your day of pickup.
If you are not a year-round resident of South Frontenac, what goes in our recycling may be quite different to your streams at your usual residence. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with our material streams and methods of delivery. Collection workers do not go through recycling to take the proper materials. If recycling is place out in an improper manner, it may be left creating a unsightly area open for wind, rain and wildlife to make short work of it.
Please only use open top, recognizable recycle bins, not cardboard boxes or garbage cans. The maximum weight limit for each blue box and its contents is 44 pounds. We also ask that you do not stockpile your recyclables.
If you have excess recycling, South Frontenac residents can take it to Kingston Area Recycling at 196 Lappans Lane just off of John Counter Boulevard at no charge Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Proof of residency may be requested.
Recycling Reminders
Excess Cardboard and Styrofoam
Please remember that any cardboard or packing styrofoam put out for recycle collection (Blue Week only) must be cut, flattened and tied into bundles no more than 3’ X 2’ X 8” in size. Remove all staples and tape and put out no more than three bundles per pickup. Any more than three bundles or any loose cardboard /styrofoam may be left. If you have a stockpile of cardboard, it will be accepted free of charge at either the Portland or Loughborough WDS when open. Excess cardboard can also be taken to Kingston Area Recycling, 196 Lappans Lane, at no cost to South Frontenac residents.
Please Do Not Bag Cans and Plastics!
As we take our recycling to the City of Kingston, we must abide by their rules. Bagged recycling is not allowed as it is dumped by material type in different areas of the floor. Bagged recycling will be left.
