York Region's Waste Management Centre in East Gwillimbury opened on July 4, 2005. The $39 million facility features an observation room, a garbage transfer station, a food waste transfer station and state-of-the-art equipment to process mixed Blue Box recyclables. This allows residents to no longer sort their Blue Box materials, saving time and reducing collection costs.
The Region has a video available which describes the operation of the facility along with an information package. Please contact the Region at (905) 895-1200 ext. 5786 if you wish to obtain a copy.
