Garbage and Recycling
Contact Us
The Town of Kingsville offers residential curbside collection for:
- recycling
- garbage, and
- yard waste
The 2021 Collection Calendars have been mailed out to residents. If you did not receive a calendar, please contact the municipal office.
The Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority (EWSWA) is responsible for the solid waste management for the County of Essex and the City of Windsor.
On June 1, 2020 a complete plastic bag ban was implemented by EWSWA. Even plastic bags with a recycling symbol (loop) are banned. In fact, plastic bags have always been on EWSWA’s “unaccepted items” list, but their new protocol is to bypass recycling that contains plastic bags of any type. Your recycling may also be bypassed if it contains items that should be dropped off at the depot (such as chemical waste or electronics), if it’s overfilled, improperly sorted, or in a container that’s incompatible with the recycling program. Please refer to your Garbage Collection Calendar if you are ever in doubt
