Be recycle ready

  • Recycling pick up is every Thursday. Each week, Blind River’s collection alternates between cardboard and paper pickup and plastic and metal pickup.
  • Please remember to ensure your materials are curbside by 7:00 a.m. every Thursday for collection. If items are not curbside by 7am, there is no guarantee they will be collected. Routing changes that could affect collection times can often occur for a number of reasons including weather, road closures and vehicle breakdowns.
  • Place recycling on level ground and in a visible location on the ground as close as possible to the roadway (not behind shrubs, fences or snow banks)
