Garbage, Recycling and Compost

Recycling

Recycling has become an important part of our everyday lives. Lambton Shores offers a weekly recycling pickup service which is contracted to Bluewater Recycling Association (BRA). BRA currently uses a co-collection system which means both garbage and recycling are collected at the same time using the same truck.
