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.

Electronic Waste

Electronic Waste (e-waste) is very harmful to the environment when not disposed of properly. Bring old televisions, computers, and computer components can be dropped off at either the Forest or Northville municipal offices for disposal. There is no fee for this service.

Owners are responsible for the removal of all personal data from any unit prior to bringing it to an e-waste site.
