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.
