A reminder for residents of several waste and recycling updates taking effect in January 2026, including recycling cart collection, large item pick-up changes, and the delivery of the 2026 waste and recycling calendar.
Recycling cart collection begins Jan. 5, 2026, with recycling collected every two weeks using the new 360-litre wheeled carts.
The Civic Centre will be closed from noon on Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025 until Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, inclusive, with regular service resuming Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.

With the start of automated recycling cart collection on Jan. 5, 2026, residents will no longer need to use blue boxes. Residents are encouraged to reuse or repurpose their old blue boxes for storage or other household uses where possible.
For anyone who wants to recycle their old blue boxes, the Town will be hosting three drop-off locations from Jan. 5 to Jan. 19, 2026.
Georgina, ON – The Town of Georgina is pleased to welcome Milwaukee Tool, a global leader in professional cordless power tools, accessories and hand tools, as the newest major tenant in the Keswick Business Park. Milwaukee Tool will use a space of 54,000 square feet to operate a major Service Hub, strengthening Georgina’s position as a growing hub for logistics, manufacturing and service operations in northern York Region.
The holidays are a time to gather and celebrate with friends and family, and the Town is implementing a temporary holiday on-street parking exemption so residents and visitors don’t have to move their vehicles, except when winter operations are underway. The holiday parking exemption will be in effect from noon Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, to end of day Friday, Jan. 2, 2026. Municipal Enforcement will not ticket vehicles parked for more than three consecutive hours and between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.
The Town of Georgina is proudly celebrating a creative milestone after earning five MarCom Awards. The Town received its second platinum award in three years and was recognized for a number of initiatives including crisis communications, special events, website creation and a winter operations campaign.
Georgina Council has adopted the 2026 budget, which includes a 2.25 per cent increase for operating expenditures and 1.25 per cent increase for an infrastructure levy for a total tax levy increase of 3.5 per cent. The infrastructure levy contribution is essential to address the funding shortfalls identified in the Asset Management Plan.
The Town’s winter maintenance event has been lifted, effective at 10 a.m. today, Dec. 1. The significant weather event has also ended. Thank you to all residents for their cooperation and patience.
