In 2021, the Ontario government passed a new regulation that transfers financial and operational responsibility for blue box recycling programs to producers - those who produce and supply blue box materials to residents. Under this new extended producer responsibility model, producers will become fully responsible for the collection and recycling of blue box materials.

The transition to extended producer responsibility will take place between 2023 and 2025, with the new model fully in place by January 1, 2026. As a result, the Municipality of Casselman's blue box recycling program is now managed by Circular Materials, the blue box collection system administrator and a not-for-profit organization committed to efficient recycling systems in Ontario.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) makes companies that supply products and packaging responsible for their end-of-life management. This encourages companies to make more careful decisions about the materials they use in their packaging and products, and makes them responsible for the cost of recycling these products in end-of-life management.

EPR is recognized as one of the most efficacious mechanisms for improving recycling rates and advancing a circular economy where materials are collected, recycled and returned to producers for use as recycled content in new products and packaging.

Since January 1, 2024. There is no impact on residents other than the time of collection. We ask you to place your blue boxes at the curb between 6 p.m. the day before collection and 7 a.m. the morning of the collection.

• Garbage collection takes place every Thursday, including statutory holidays, at all residential addresses in the Municipality of Casselman.
