Recycling
Starting January 1, 2026, residential Recycling collection in Simcoe County will be managed by Circular Materials, Emterra, a not-for-profit organization appointed by producers under Ontario’s new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework.
This province-wide transition shifts responsibility for the collection and processing of blue box materials from municipalities to producers of recyclable products. The County of Simcoe will continue to manage garbage and organics collection, as well as operate waste-drop off facilities as usual.
For questions related to recycling, such as collection schedules, missed pickups or cart repairs, please contact Emterra directly by phone at 1-888-597-1541, customercareont@emterra.ca, or visit their website at Emterra.ca.
