Recycling program transition
As of January 1, 2025, Blind River’s recycling program will be managed by Circular Materials, a national not-for-profit organization that is committed to building an efficient and effective recycling system in Ontario.
Be recycle ready
- Recycling pick up is every Thursday. Each week, Blind River’s collection alternates between cardboard and paper pickup and plastic and metal pickup.
- Please remember to ensure your materials are curbside by 7:00 a.m. every Thursday for collection. If items are not curbside by 7am, there is no guarantee they will be collected. Routing changes that could affect collection times can often occur for a number of reasons including weather, road closures and vehicle breakdowns.
- Place recycling on level ground and in a visible location on the ground as close as possible to the roadway (not behind shrubs, fences or snow banks)
What’s accepted
- Rinsed cans, bottles, tubs, milk and juice cartons
