Recycling transition coming to Loyalist in July 2025
Residential recycling programs in Ontario are moving to a new collection system that is fully funded and operated by producers of recycling materials. The new collection system will make recycling easier by standardizing what can be recycled across Ontario.
Under the new full producer responsibility framework, Circular Materials Ontario will manage contracts to collect and receive recyclable materials.
Loyalist Township’s recycling program will transition to producer responsibility on July 1, 2025. Subscribe to this page for updates as we near the transition date.
