Upcoming Changes to Recycling Collection for Town of Renfrew Businesses and Organizations

Changes are coming to Ontario’s recycling programs - and we want to hear from YOU!

Under Provincial Regulation 391/21, all municipally-led Blue Box recycling programs will transition to the Producer Responsibility Framework as of January 1, 2026. As a result, starting in 2026, businesses, community facilities, and not-for-profit organizations will no longer receive curbside Blue Box recycling collection through the Producer led system.

As a business owner or organization representative, your input is important to us. The Town of Renfrew is currently exploring the possibility of establishing a separate recycling collection system specifically for properties that will no longer be eligible under the new framework.

We want to hear from those who will be affected to better understand your needs, identify potential service gaps, and work toward practical solutions to reduce the impact on our local business community.

We thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your input is valuable to us.

This survey will be open until May 12, 2025. If you need additionally assistance with this survey or would like a paper copy please contact Amanda Springer, Environmental Services Manager for the Town of Renfrew at aspringer@renfrew.ca or at 613-432-4848 x 307.
