Changes are coming to recycling collection and depot here in Tweed.
The Province of Ontario is shifting the responsibility for recycling to producers instead of municipalities under the Blue Box Regulation. This shift will come into effect for residents as of Thursday, July 17, 2025
This does not mean that blue box recycling program will cease on that date. In fact, the collection and processing of recycled materials will continue. However, Quinte Waste Solutions, which is owned and operated by Tweed and eight other local municipalities, will no longer provide the service.
Instead, the blue box recycling program for the Municipality of Tweed will be managed by Circular Materials Ontario (CMO). CMO has selected E360 Solutions to provide blue box recycling collection service for the Municipality of Tweed.

There will be no change to the pickup schedule for curbside collection in the village.
Any questions related to replacement bins, missed collections and other recycling questions can contact, 613-392-7107 or by email: customerservice-eastont@e360s.ca

•    Not-for -profit organizations
•    Municipal buildings or facilities
