Ontario Government Mandated Recycling Program Changes
MEDIA RELEASE – January 2nd, 2025
Changes Coming to Blue Box Recycling in 2025
Quinte Waste Solutions begins the New Year with a great sense of pride having served our greater community for 35 years in blue box and hazardous and electronic waste recycling.
Changes are occurring in the world of ‘blue box’ recycling across Ontario. It began in 2023, and on July 17th, 2025, Quinte Waste Solutions will be closing its operation at 270 West Street, Quinte West, and GFL Environmental Services will no longer be the contractor for the collection and processing of ‘blue box’ recycling material.
At this time, E360 Solutions located at 50 Mineral Road, Belleville will begin collecting ‘blue box’ material and deliver it to the HGC Receiving Facility located at 555 Station Street in Belleville. E360 Solutions was selected by Circular Materials Ontario to provide ‘blue box’ recycling service to your municipality and have entered into contracts for collection to each individual municipality currently a member of the Centre and South Hastings Waste Services Board.
The Centre and South Hastings Waste Services Board, who own and operate Quinte Waste Solutions, has nine member municipalities; Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Centre Hastings, Tyendinaga Township, Marmora and Lake, Tweed, Madoc Township, and Stirling-Rawdon.
As we approach the July 17th, 2025 ‘blue box’ transition date, Quinte Waste Solutions will be adapting its current service model:
- On March 31st, 2025, service to hosted events will come to an end
- On June 30th, 2025, the Recycling Depot located at 270 West Street in Quinte West will close. A new Recycling Depot is currently operational at HGC located at 555 Station Street in Belleville
Our Hazardous and Electronic Waste Depot at 75 Wallbridge Crescent, Belleville will continue its current operation and host nineteen (19) mobile events across our nine communities in 2025.
We thank you for your support and commitment to the environment.

Quinte Waste Solutions’ Team
The Municipality of Tweed is committed to providing a high level of service when it comes to your household waste, and in order to do so we must transition to clear bags. A transfer station for waste is too costly and is an undesirable option for ratepayers. We are committed to providing a landfill to residents right here in our Municipality for decades to come. Our Municipality must ensure a sustainable landfill over the long term, and increased recycling efforts will aid in this.
