Garbage and Recycling

Update: As of August 28, 2024, recycling collection will no longer be a municipal (EWSWA) responsibility. Circular Materials will be the new administrator across Ontario and they have hired Green For Life Environmental Inc. (GFL) to provide residential curbside collection.

Residents must have their recycling out by 6:00 AM on collection day.

Green For Life collects garbage, recycling and yard waste on behalf of the Town.

The Collection Calendar provides information and dates relating to your garbage, yard waste and recycling pick-up. The Calendar is mailed out to Tecumseh residents each year and is available in hardcopy at Town Hall 917 Lesperance Road Tecumseh, ON.

Download the Recycle Coach App and never miss another collection!

Collection Reminders

Place your garbage and recycling out the night before your scheduled collection day. Place your garbage and recycling bin on the curb or on your driveway - never on the road! Keep your container at the curb until the end of the day if it hasn’t been collected. Sometimes the timing of GFL's arrival changes.

Place your garbage in an acceptable garbage container. Refer to the Collection Calendar for details regarding basic collection requirements.
