Recycling
As of January 1, 2026, Kapuskasing’s recycling program is managed by Circular Materials, a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving recycling services across Ontario.
Residents are encouraged to recycle properly by placing clean, dry, and loose materials in their recycling containers and ensuring items are set out by 7:00 a.m. on collection day.
Recycling helps reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and protect the environment. Use the information below to learn what materials are accepted, how to prepare your recyclables, and what items do not belong in the recycling stream.
