Waste Reduction Week 2026

🔵 October 19 – More to Recycle!
Take advantage of expanded blue bin recycling through Circular Materials, including paper, cardboard and boxboard, metal, plastic containers and flexible plastics.

🌱 October 20 – Compost!
Residents can pick up compost at the Egremont Transfer Station, free of charge. A great way to give materials another purpose while helping your garden!

🍎 October 21 – Food Waste Goes in Organics!
Help turn food scraps into something useful. Countertop kitchen catchers are available at our Transfer Stations to make collecting organics at home easier.

♻️ October 22 – Give Items a Second Life!
*Before throwing something away, consider whether it can be reused. Used, functional items can be dropped off at the Reuse Centres at our Transfer Stations, while textiles can be placed in the Diabetes Canada donation bin.

Have old electronics ready to go? Electronics such as laptops, printers and TVs can be brought to both Transfer Stations for collection.
