NOTICE
Changes to recycling pickup and processing for Businesses
in the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands (NEMI)
As of January 1st 2026, Circular Economy has taken over responsibility for residential recycling in the Province of Ontario. They do not recycle for Businesses, Institutions or Industries. As a result, the Town of NEMI will no longer be able to accept Institutional, Commercial or Industrial recycling at the NEMI landfill.
To assist businesses with the transition, NEMI will accept Commercial, Industrial and Institutional recycling for the month of March. However as of April 1, 2026, businesses will be expected to have made other arrangements for the removal and processing of their recycling.
GFL is managing our residential recycling on behalf of the Circular Economy, their contact information is 705 869-2447.
Residential recycling will continue to be picked up and accepted at the landfill as it has in the past.
