Waste and Organics

Effective September 23, 2024, the Town of Goderich will implement a new curbside collection program for solid waste and organics. This transition is guided by the proposed draft updated Solid Waste, Organics, and Recycling By-Law, aiming to improve waste diversion and environmental sustainability.

Under the new system, eligible households will receive roll-out carts. Service is weekly for organics and every other week for waste. Waste carts will be 240 litres and Organic carts will be 120 litres. Carts will be delivered starting September 9.

Recycling

In April 2024, Goderich successfully transitioned to producer responsibility for residential curbside recycling. Bluewater Recycling Association (BRA) remains the collector, so residents will see no change in their service. This shift supports Ontario's goal to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
