Township of King, Ont. (December 5, 2025) — Effective December 31, King Township no longer manages recycling as mandated by the Province of Ontario. Ahead of this change, King households received a 360-litre wheeled, lidded recycling cart. If this size does not meet your needs, you may request an exchange for a smaller 240-litre cart by submitting a Recycling Cart Exchange Request Form, available online at circularmaterials.ca/n6king.
It is recommended you try the standard recycling cart for at least three bi-weekly pick-ups to gauge your actual capacity needs.
Before you request an exchange, please consider the following:
- Recycling collection will move from a weekly to a bi-weekly schedule. The 360-litre cart supports two weeks of recyclables—many residents previously used two blue boxes (equal to an estimated 320-litres) over two weeks.
- Expanded list of accepted materials. Residents will now be able to recycle more materials such as hot and cold beverage cups, black plastic containers, frozen juice cans, ice cream tubs, deodorant and toothpaste tubes, meaning volume in the cart is increasing.
- All recycling items must fit inside the cart and the lid must be closed upon collection.
- Only one cart exchange is permitted per address. Future requests for a second cart will not be permitted for households that have exchanged the standard issued cart (360-litre) for the smaller cart (240-litre).
Special accommodation requests
Residents experiencing a temporary or permanent physical disability that prevents them from setting out their recycling bin or cart at the curb may qualify for assisted collection service through the Special Accommodation Recycling Service Application. A physician’s note is required to apply for this assisted service.
