RPRA Launches a New ‘Where to Recycle’ Map
RPRA’s ‘Where to Recycle’ map displays locations across Ontario where you can drop off used materials to be recycled, such as batteries, electronics, household hazardous waste, lighting and tires, for free. Materials collected at these locations are reused, refurbished, recycled, or properly disposed of to help keep them out of landfill, recover valuable resources and protect our environment.
Beginning July 1, 2023
St. Clair’s blue box recycling program is now managed by Circular Materials, who is the administrator of the common collection system and a not-for-profit organization that is committed to building an efficient and effective recycling system in Ontario. This transition will result in no change to how you currently recycle your materials or to your collection schedule.
Please contact Emterra for recycling-related inquiries: 1-888-597-1541 or customercareont@emterra.ca

Waste Collection Reminders to Avoid Missed Collection
To help ensure collection crews remain healthy, all waste should be bagged and securely tied.
Loose garbage bags or garbage bags in cans at the curb will not be collected if they are not tied.
Maximum weight per bag is 50 lbs.
As a reminder, ashes (i.e. cigarette butts, cigars, and fire pit ash) need to be separately sealed in a bag and placed in waste.
Please ensure these items are completely extinguished before placing in the garbage.
As well, napkins, paper towels and tissues are NOT recyclable.
Thank you, for your continued support of our Waste Reduction Program.
DISPOSING OF MEDICATIONS AND SHARPS
Ontario Medication Returns Program (OMRP) and the Ontario Sharps Collection Program (OSCP)
