The Township of North Glengarry is facing concerns related to the new provincial recycling program, which has been managed by Circular Materials since January 2026. While the transition has simplified the rules and expanded the list of recyclable materials, challenges remain. The main criticism is the exclusion of small businesses and organizations from the program, which now have to pay for private services. The municipality fears an increase in landfilling and has reported these inconsistencies to the province.
