The Town of The Blue Mountains has announced there will be changes coming this year to its blue box recycling collection program.
In response to the new province-wide blue box regulation, the town is providing advanced notice to non-residential properties about curbside blue box collection services that will be implemented starting Oct. 1, 2023
Under the new regulation, the town will transfer collection services to a new contract to be managed by Circular Materials. All residential addresses will be included in the new blue box program and no further action is required from those property owners.
However, non-residential locations – including retail stores, restaurants, places of worship, for-profit retirement homes, service clubs, centres, motels, hotels and more – must register their address with the town to ensure that they continue to receive curbside blue box collection service.
The new regulation has been implemented across the province to ensure that blue box material producers take full responsibility for residential blue box collection.
To ensure continued blue box services, those with a non-residential location are asked to complete a form found here to provide the town with the non-residential address.
