Recycling Changes - Non-Eligible Properties

Starting Tuesday, July 1, 2025, the Township will no longer be responsible for providing recycling pick up services. Under the new recycling program, the changes to recycling collection will impact 'non-eligible sources' - industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) property owners.

Non-eligible properties include:

• All private sector businesses
  - Not-for-profit organizations
  - Municipal buildings or facilities
  - Daycares
  - Places of worship
  - Campgrounds and trailer parks
  - Commercial farms (collection will continue for residential farmhouses)

Any non-eligible sources previously receiving curbside collection will no longer receive curbside recycling collection as of July 1, 2025, as ICI property owners are not included under the provincial regulations.  In an effort to encourage waste diversion among these non-eligible sources, the Township will provide collection bins at the following waste disposal sites for drop-off recycling:

Green Bay Waste Disposal Site - 174 Burns Rd, Godfrey
 - Fridays 8:30 am – 12:30 pm & Sundays 12:30 - 4:30

Loughborough Waste Disposal Site - 1818 Norway Rd, Perth Road 
 - Monday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and Saturday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (two days a week)

These sites will be maintained for businesses to continue to recycle eligible materials. There will be clear signage marking what will be accepted into which bins. The bins will follow the residential streams set by Emterra. 

There may be some properties that will have both eligible and non-eligible materials. Non-eligible sources/properties need to be separated from residential collection and serviced in an alternative way.

Mixed Use Properties:
- Residential apartments on top of a business are considered eligible
- Industrial or commercial property underneath the residential building are non-eligible

Commercial Buildings Along Residential Routes:
- Residential buildings (single family homes/ multi-unit residential buildings) are eligible
- Industrial or commercial properties (e.g., coffee shop, convenience store) are non-eligible

For questions about non-eligible sources, please visit the Circular Materials Ontario website.
