"Circular Materials, a private company, will take over collection of recyclables for single-family homes, most multi-residential buildings, schools, long-term care facilities and retirement homes. Changes to recycling collection do not apply to commercial buildings, city facilities, divisions or agencies, charities, institutions or religious organizations."
"In Toronto, residents will still use the same bin on the same recycling days, as dictated by their regular collection schedule issued by the city in early December. The materials to be recycled will be the same with a few additions. What is changing? If residents have a question, such as to report a missed collection, to request repair or replacement, they are told not to call 311, but to call Circular Materials at 1-888-921-2686 or circularmaterials.ca/toronto."
"Colle said the transition is required under provincial legislation that is shifting responsibility for recycling from the city to producers. "Starting on January 1st, residential recycling in Toronto will change and will no longer be collected by the City of Toronto. No longer will the city be involved in the blue bin program. It's now a provincial responsibility," Colle said."
Residential recycling collection in Toronto will transfer from the City to private contractor Circular Materials beginning Jan. 1, 2026. Circular Materials will manage collection and recycling for single-family homes, most multi-residential buildings, schools, long-term care facilities and retirement homes. Recycling for commercial buildings, city facilities, agencies, charities, institutions and religious organizations remains unchanged. Residents will continue using the same blue bins on the same collection days and most accepted materials remain the same with a few additions. Residents should contact Circular Materials at 1-888-921-2686 or circularmaterials.ca/toronto for missed collections, repairs or replacements instead of calling 311. The change follows provincial producer-responsibility legislation.
