Recycling Transition

Takes Effect July 1

Loyalist Township's recycling program is now managed by Circular Materials, the administrator of the common collection system and a national not-for-profit organization that is committed to building an efficient and effective recycling system in Ontario.

For all recycling inquires including a missed recycling collection residents are asked to contact Emterra’s customer service at 1-888-597-1541 or customercareont@emterra.ca
