Big improvements are coming to Huron Shores’ Blue Box recycling program! We’re making recycling easier, safer, and more efficient for everyone. Recyclables will still be collected at local depots, within a Province wide update to recycling through Circular Materials Ontario (CMO). Please remember, hazardous waste won’t be accepted to keep our depots safe and clean. Stay tuned for updates on materials you can recycle. The program is set to run through December 31, 2025, with options to extend. Rest assured, your recycling services will continue without pause. We’re excited about these upgrades and look forward to sharing more soon. Subscribe to our website and watch the Stay Informed page for updates!
