This change is part of the Province of Ontario policy that makes producers responsible for recycling operations and costs.
As of January 1, 2026:
- Circular Materials manages recycling services in Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga.
- You will have the same recycling schedule and use the same recycling bin.
- Peel Region is no longer responsible for recycling.
- Peel Region still collects garbage, organics, and yard waste.
Transitioning from municipal recycling collection to Circular Materials is part of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) model.
Extended producer responsibility means that producers – the businesses that supply packaging and paper – are financially responsible and accountable for recycling materials from their production to their disposal.
Changing to the EPR model will encourage more sustainable packaging, create consistency for all municipalities, and improve recycling outcomes across Ontario.
