What you need to know about requesting an additional 360-litre recycling cart

Township of King, Ont. (January 16, 2026) — King Township residents can now request a second recycling cart through Circular Materials by completing an online Recycling Container Request Form.

This form is available for residents who are looking to request a second 360-litre recycling cart. There is no additional cost if Circular Materials deems the volume of recyclable material generated by the residence is shown to consistently exceed the capacity of the carts provided.

This is the only size option available for a second cart and only applies to households with a 360-litre recycling cart. A second cart will not be provided to households that requested an exchange for the smaller 240-litre size recycling cart.

Given the early stage of the recycling transition across Ontario, Circular Materials is currently experiencing a significant volume of inquiries and requests, and at this time cannot commit to a timeframe for delivery of a second recycling cart.

Important reminders before requesting a second cart:

  • It is recommended that households use their current recycling cart for a period of 90 days to determine their recycling needs before submitting a request for an additional cart.
  • It is common for households to experience significant seasonal variability in recycling needs and increased volume over the holiday period.
  • All materials, particularly cardboard, must be broken down and flattened to support using recycling cart space most efficiently.

If you have questions or require support, email customerservice@circularmaterials.ca or call 1-877-667-2626.
