Recycling/Composting

The City of Kingston has expanded the blue and gray box program to include downtown residential tenants. For information on what can go into these boxes and a calendar of pick up dates please visit: www.cityofkingston.ca

Where to Get a Blue/Gray/Green Box
You may pick up a these boxes at either City Hall (216 Ontario Street) or the Kingston Area Recycling Centre (196 Lappan’s Lane). The first box is free and additional blue boxes cost $6.00 each. Make sure you bring identification indicating your home address.

Labeling Your Blue/Gray/Green Box
We recommend that you clearly label your recycling/composting box with your unit number and municipal address for easy identification

Pick-up Times
Recyclables are picked up from curbside weekly. Following a Statutory Holiday, your recycling collection, like your garbage collection, moves forward by one day. Please ensure your blue box is at curbside no later than 6:00am.

We appreciate your assistance in keeping our neighborhoods clean.
