Garbage and Recycling

Please note: 

As of July 1, 2025, all recycling in the Township is now being managed by Circular Materials and picked up by their Contractor Emterra Environmental. The new recycling program includes changes to the recycling collection schedule and the materials collected. If you missed your new recycling day, unsure of the material mix, or for more information about Producer Responsibility, visit circularmaterials.ca/southfrontenac. Recycling is no longer managed by the Township – please direct all questions to Emterra Environmental: 1-888-597-1541 or customercareont@emterra.ca

There are no changes to your garbage collection day. On weeks where there is a statutory holiday, garbage collection is usually a day later than your normal pick up day. Collection begins at 7 am so please have your material out and ready by that time.

Individual Producer Responsibility

The province of Ontario is quickly moving towards an Individual Producer Responsibility diversion system. Follow the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) for all the latest news on waste diversion. The RPRA was created in November 2016 by the Government of Ontario to support the transition to a circular economy and a waste-free Ontario.
