Garbage Recycling and Landfills

Due to the current weather and road conditions, GFL has decided that their curbside pick-up trucks will focus on servicing the main residential areas and the main roads outside the communities. 

This new year brings a new recycling program to residents of Central Manitoulin. As of January 1, 2025, Central Manitoulin’s residential recycling program is transitioning to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and will be managed by Circular Materials, a national not-for-profit organization that is committed to building an efficient and effective recycling system in Ontario.
