Garbage and Recycling

Show or hide navigation More

The earth sits between empty metal cans

Your 2023 Municipal Collection Calendar is now available in various formats, digital, paper, and through the Recycle Coach App. 

Recycling Collection

Recycling in Kingsville and the County of Essex is an Essex Windsor Solid Waste Authority program. Your recycling is collected every other Wednesday. Please have your recycling boxes out before 6:00 am and ensure paper products are separated from containers. You can download the FREE Recycle Coach app at the Apple Store or Google Play to receive reminders about collection dates, notifications about collection delays, and information about sorting. 

Why was my recycling bypassed?

Your recycling may be left behind if:

  • It contains plastic bags of any type, even bags with a recycling symbol (loop). 
  • It includes items that should be dropped off at the depot (such as chemical waste or electronics)
  • It's overfilled
  • It's improperly sorted, or
  • It's in a container that's incompatible with the recycling program

You will see an "oops" sticker on your bin if your recycling is purposely bypassed. 

Report a missed collection

If you think your recycling was accidentally missed, please contact the Essex Windsor Solid Waste Authority at ask@ewswa.org or 1-800-563-3377.

Battery and Cellphone Recycling

The Town of Kingsville's Municipal Office is an official Call2Recycle®Battery and Cell Phone Recycling Depot. Bring your old batteries and cell phones to our office, and we will dispose of them in an environmentally responsible way at no cost to you.
