Recycling and Waste Update

Merrickville Ward

Our new contractor Emterra will be collecting recyclable materials and waste – as per the current schedule, commencing 2026.

January 7 will be the first day for Emterra with collection starting with containers. Materials will alternate between weeks.  

Wolford Ward

The recycling will remain at the Depot for ~2 months, then it will transition to curbside pickup.

The Waste will be curbside pickup by Emterra commencing January 7, 2026. Residents still may use the landfill for waste, however $2.50 tags are required.

Residents are able to return their Wolford tags with $1.50 and receive an Orange Tag (valued at $2.50).
