Niagara Region says it is discontinuing recycling collection for businesses and other non-residential properties beginning next month.
The change is part of the Region’s response to the Ontario government’s Blue Box Regulation, which is shifting responsibility for residential recycling to producers rather than government.
The Region says about 4,375 non-residential properties across Niagara currently receive recycling collection via Niagara Region. This includes properties like small businesses, commercial entities, hospitals, schools, places of worship, and not-for-profit organizations.
