Effective January 1^st, 2025, the Town of Smooth Rock Falls’ recycling program will be 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.

What does this mean?

1. Waste will be picked up by the Town of Smooth Rock Falls.
2. Recycling will be picked up by GFL Environmental, contractor hired by Circular Materials.
3. The 2025 waste and recycling schedule will identify the designated pick up dates. Ex: Recycling will take place on Tuesdays for all residents & businesses, waste pick up will occur on Wednesdays for all residents and businesses. As always, businesses will have and additional waste/recycling picked up on Friday.
4. Commercial Recycling: Recycling for businesses, including the use of Blue Bins, is not part of Ontario’s transition to a producer responsibility model. There are no changes to Commercial Recycling at this time, meaning the Town of Smooth Rock Falls will continue to pick up recycling for businesses until further notice. More information will be provided to businesses as soon as it becomes available.

Recycling Bins: Residents will contact GFL Environmental with regard to recycling, including any issues related to Blue Bins. Contact information will be shared soon and will also be available on the Town’s website.

As part of this transition, residents can expect to have a convenient, consistent, and effective recycling system that will improve recycling rates – benefiting people and our planet.
