Quinte Waste Solutions (QWS) is instituting a limit on the number of recycling bags it will pick up at local businesses.
The change will minimize traffic disruptions associated with collecting large stockpiles of street-side material and will improve the safety of workers collecting the material.
The change will take effect the week of October 18, 2021.
- QWS will pick up 10 bags of recycling per week at the curbside of businesses.
- The recycling bags have to be properly sorted with one type of material per bag.
- Visit the QWS website to learn which items that QWS accepts.
- If businesses have additional recycling beyond the 10-bag limit, they can take the excess material to a County landfill and transfer site.
- Visit the County website for more information about the locations, hours, and types of material accepted at the municipal landfill and transfer sites.
- If you have questions, contact the County at 613.476.2148 extension 1023, 613.962.9108 extension 1023, or email info@pecounty.on.ca.
