Recycling Cart Exchange Request Form Now Available

The Essex-Windsor region is undergoing changes to its recycling program starting in January 2026.

Each household in Amherstburg will receive a 360-litre wheeled, lidded recycling cart designed to hold two weeks of recyclables and accommodate a broader range of accepted materials. If this size card does not meet your needs, residents can request exchange their 360-litre recycling cart for a smaller 240-litre cart through the Recycling Cart Exchange Request Form on the Circular Materials website.

Circular Materials recommends that residents use their issued 360-litre cart for at least three bi-weekly collection cycles (approximately six weeks) before submitting an exchange request. This helps ensure households have a good understanding of their recycling needs under the new single-stream system before switching to a smaller cart.
