Recycling/Composting

The City of Kingston has expanded the blue and gray box program to include downtown residents. For more information on allowable contents and a calendar of pick up dates please visit: www.cityofkingston.ca

Where to Find a Blue/Gray/Green Box

You may pick up any of these boxes at City Hall (216 Ontario Street) or the Kingston Area Recycling Centre (196 Lappan's Lane). The first box will be of no cost and any additional blue boxes will cost $6.00 each.  Personal identification indicating your home address will be requested.

Labeling Your Blue/Gray/Green Box

We recommend that you clearly label your recycling/composting box with your municipal address and/or unit number for easy identification.

Pick-up Times

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