Residents in Mississippi Mills should be aware of changes to the waste and recycling collection schedule this week due to the Good Friday holiday. While regular garbage and recycling collection will generally be affected by statutory holidays throughout 2026, residents should verify their specific collection date using the official municipality tools, as recycling collection schedules may differ from garbage collection following the transition to the new provincial program.
To ensure items are collected, the Municipality of Mississippi Mills asks that all households have their bins at the curb by 7 a.m. on their scheduled collection day. This holiday shift is part of the municipality’s standard annual schedule, which affects collection during statutory holidays such as Canada Day on July 1, Christmas Day on December 25, and New Year’s Day on January 1, 2027.
Following the holiday, residents have an opportunity to dispose of extra household waste. During the week immediately following Easter Monday, households are permitted to place a second container of garbage at the curb without needing a bag tag.
Recycling services in the area are now managed by Circular Materials under a provincial program. Collection is carried out by Miller Waste, and the program now accepts a wider variety of materials, including black plastic containers, hot and cold beverage cups, and various plastic tubes like those used for toothpaste or deodorant.
