Changes to collection in 2026

Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the Township of King will transition its blue box recycling program to an organization called Circular Materials. This change will streamline the recycling of products and packaging throughout Ontario, representing all producers involved. Residents can continue to recycle as they always have, with the exception that collection will move from weekly to once every two weeks to align with all other municipalities in Ontario.
Each household will receive one large, 360-litre wheeled recycling cart prior to December 31. If the standard cart doesn’t meet your needs, you can request an exchange for a smaller cart (240-litre) through Circular Material’s Recycling Cart Exchange Request Form webpage. Please note that only one cart exchange is permitted per address. Damaged totes will be replaced free of cost to residents. Materials placed in old blue bins will not be collected

Beginning January 2026, large item collection in King Township will follow a scheduled, call-in process, similar to the system already in place for appliances and large metal items.
Oversized items (i.e. furniture, mattresses, box springs, etc.) will require an orange ‘bulk item’ sticker and large metal items (i.e. appliances, barbeques, bed frames, etc.) will require a pink ‘white goods (appliance)’ sticker.
