Public Notice – Changes to Recycling and Landfill Services

The Township of Stirling-Rawdon is advising residents of upcoming changes to recycling and landfill services, anticipated to take effect April 30, 2026, pending Council approval.

As part of these changes:

• Recycling services will transition to curbside collection only. Recycling bins currently located at both Stirling and Springbrook landfill sites for mixed fiber and comingled recycling will be removed, and recycling will no longer be accepted at these locations after April 30, 2026.
• Residents will be required to place recycling at the curb in accordance with the Township’s collection schedule.

These changes are intended to streamline services and provide cost savings to the Township, while maintaining reliable waste management for residents.

Further details, including curbside recycling guidelines and collection information, will be shared prior to implementation.
