Municipality no longer accepting textiles for recycling 

Posted on:
June 5, 2026

Textiles and clothing are no longer being accepted at municipal waste management facilities until further notice. 

Our textile recycling partner has suspended collections because they have accumulated more material than they can currently process and market. As a result, the Municipality is unable to accept clothing and other textiles through the program at this time. 

Residents are encouraged to consider alternative options for unwanted textiles, including: 

• Donating usable clothing and household textiles to local second-hand stores. 
• Using clothing donation bins. 
• Giving items directly to local charities and community organizations where appropriate. 

The Municipality will notify residents if textile recycling services resume in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to support waste reduction and reuse efforts.
