Residents in Georgian Bluffs can help the township determine the future of waste collection in the community.
Currently, Georgian Bluffs contracts a third-party provider for weekly curbside garbage collection and bi-weekly blue box recycling.
However, the contract is set to expire in 2025, so the township is seeking input to shape the future of the next contract. A statement from Georgian Bluffs said the future of waste collection services is changing as regulations, costs, and environmental goals evolve.
For example, as of January of 2026, the Province of Ontario will be responsible for the Blue Box recycling program. Recycling will continue to be collected from the curbside, but the Province will determine the items collected, frequency, and the type of container required.
People are asked to provide feedback to ensure the next waste services contract aligns with community's values and expectations. The survey will help council make informed decisions about service improvements, cost management, environmental impact, and overall efficiency.
Engage GB website at engagegb.ca/waste to take our quick survey. Hardcopies of the survey are also available at the Township Office and community centres for those who prefer to provide their feedback in person. It will also be a featured topic at the upcoming Connect and Collaborate Engagement day at the Grey Roots Museum on June 18 from 3-7 p.m.
