Recycling

Bluewater Recycling Association (BRA) provides weekly, curbside recycling collection in Lambton Shores. BRA uses a co-collection system. This means that the same truck collects both garbage and recycling.

Holiday collection

If your collection day falls on a holiday, collection will take place as scheduled, except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day, when collection may be rescheduled.

Pick-up information

Place all recyclable materials inside your wheelie bin with the blue lid for pick-up. Place your recycling bin at the curb on your assigned side of the street by 7:00 am on your collection day.

Please do not place your bin behind an obstacle where you cannot clearly see it from the road. For example:

Behind a snowdrift
Hidden in tall grass
Behind a hedge
