Recycling Pickup Every 2 Weeks: Waste Management
Written by Jarrett Jacobs on 13 January 2026
Kahnawà:ke’s Waste Management department reminds the community that recycling is now only being picked up once every 2 weeks.
The new schedule was implemented last week, meaning recycling will not be collected this week, January 12 – 16, 2026. Waste Management reiterates that this shift is the only change to the schedule, and pickup will still occur on the same day it used to.
Businesses will continue to have their recycling collected on a weekly basis, and cardboard pickup will continue weekly on the same day as usual. Compost collection will also remain weekly, on the same day recycling is usually picked up. Garbage is unaffected by this change, and will still be collected every Friday.
Recycling pickup will resume next week (January 19 – 23, 2026) and continue with the one-week-on, one-week-off system moving forward.
