About Ontario’s transition to EPR
Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario will complete its transition to extended producer responsibility (EPR) where producers—those that supply packaging and paper materials—will be fully responsible for funding and managing the program.
This new system will be managed by Circular Materials, the administrator of the common collection system and a not-for profit organization that is committed to building efficient and effective recycling systems.
What does this change mean for residents?
You will be able to recycle more materials than ever before right at the curb, including newly accepted materials like hot and cold beverage cups, deodorant and toothpaste tubes, ice cream tubs and more!
You will receive a new cart with wheels and a lid to increase storage capacity and reduce litter and pest issues.
