The Blue Box recycling program in the Town of Georgina will transition to a producer-led system as part of a province-wide shift under Ontario’s Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act. Residents can begin using the new blue box cart the week of Jan. 5, 2026.

Under this new framework, producers of packaging and paper products will become fully responsible for the costs and operation of the residential blue box program. This change is designed to create a more consistent and efficient recycling system across Ontario.

Lest we forget. Everyone is invited to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies happening throughout Georgina.

GEORGINA, Nov. 5, 2025 – York University and the Town of Georgina signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today to formalize their long-standing collaboration in key areas of mutual interest.

Beginning January 2026, large-item collection in the Town of Georgina will become a scheduled service, similar to appliances and other large metal items. With the Town no longer collecting recycling due to the province’s transition of the recycling program to producers, there will be adjustments to how other waste streams (garbage, organic, and large items) are collected. Large-item collection will now be handled by a dedicated collection vehicle which will require scheduling. 

How it works

Whether you're looking to get into the holiday spirit, enjoy family fun or find meaningful ways to support the community, Georgina offers a variety of events and activities this November to help you celebrate the season and get involved.
