HomeLiving HereHome and PropertyGarbage, Recycling and Yard Waste

Update: As of August 28, 2024, recycling collection will no longer be a municipal (EWSWA) responsibility. Circular Materials will be the new administrator across Ontario and they have hired Green For Life Environmental Inc. (GFL) to provide residential curbside collection.

Information in the 2024 Collection Calendar remains the same, but residents must have their recycling out by 6:00 AM.

Read the fact sheet about the changes.

Green for Life (GFL) collects garbage, recycling, and yard waste on behalf of the Municipality of Lakeshore. To find out when your collection dates are, please refer to the collection calendar.

If you have questions or concerns with respect to your garbage or yard waste, contact us at 519-728-2700 or PublicService@Lakeshore.ca. 

Recycling Inquiries/Issues

For inquiries on collection/service, bins/carts/ or new builds/homeowners, please contact GFL:

  • 1-844-415-4351
  • WeRecycling@gflenv.com

2025 Garbage and Recycling Calendar

Collection Calendars are printed and mailed in the month of January. If you do not receive a calendar in the mail by February 4, 2025, please contact the Public Service Unit at PublicService@Lakeshore.ca or 519-728-2700 to arrange for a calendar to be mailed to you.

  • Read the 2025 Collection Calendar online.
  • Receive collection reminders on your mobile phone with the Recycle Coach app on your Android or Apple device.
  • Visit the EWSWA's online Collection Calendar.

White Goods

White Goods such as metal items, hot water tanks, BBQs, bathtubs, sinks, fridges, ranges, etc. are collected monthly free of charge. To arrange for White Goods collection, please contact Green For Life/GFL at 519-944-8009.

Non-Collectable Waste

Non-collectable waste can be dropped off at public Drop-off Depots and includes:

  • Computer equipment
  • Televisions
  • Renovation debris
  • Animal waste
  • Chemical and paint products
  • Medical waste and syringes
  • Tires
  • Concrete and bricks
  • Explosives
  • Hazardous Waste

Top 4 Recycling Blunders:

  1. Plastic Bags - there has been a ban on plastic bags in recycle collection since June 1, 2020
  2. Cardboard Size - cardboard boxes must be empty and no larger than 30"h x 30"w x 30"d (nesting recommended)
  3. Separating - ensure containers are in a separate bin than paper items
  4. Timing - recycle bins should be placed at the curb the night before collection (any bins placed out after 6am on collection day will not be collected)
