Quinte Waste Solutions begins the new year with a great sense of pride having served our greater community for 35 years in blue box and hazardous and electronic waste recycling.
Changes are occurring in the world of blue box recycling across Ontario. It began in 2023, and on July 17, 2025, Quinte Waste Solutions will be closing its operation at 270 West Street, Quinte West, and GFL Environmental Services will no longer be the contractor for the collection and processing of blue box recycling material.
At this time, E360 Solutions, located at 50 Mineral Road, Belleville will begin collecting blue box material and delivering it to the HGC Receiving Facility located at 555 Station Street in Belleville. E360 Solutions was selected by Circular Materials Ontario to provide blue box recycling service to municipalities and have entered into contracts for collection to each individual municipality currently a member of the Centre and South Hastings Waste Services Board.
The Centre and South Hastings Waste Services Board, who owns and operates Quinte Waste Solutions, has nine member municipalities; Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Centre Hastings, Tyendinaga Township, Marmora and Lake, Tweed, Madoc Township, and Stirling-Rawdon.
As we approach the July 17, 2025 blue box transition date, Quinte Waste Solutions will be adapting its current service model:
- On March 31, 2025 service to hosted events will come to an end
- On June 30, 2025 the Recycling Depot located at 270 West Street in Quinte West will close. A new Recycling Depot is currently operational at HGC located at 555 Station Street in Belleville
The Hazardous and Electronic Waste Depot at 75 Wallbridge Crescent, Belleville will continue its current operation and host nineteen mobile events across thenine communities in 2025.
