Containers Recycling (Blue Box)
The County of Simcoe has a 2-stream recycling program currently in place, (containers and paper fibres) which must be separated with 2 recycling bins. Material must be placed out to the curb on your regular collection day by 7:00am. To reduce blowing litter, stack recycling bins.
