THUNDER BAY – The City of Thunder Bay could pass off the responsibility for residential recycling collection to the private sector as early as the summer of 2024, if council approves a recommendation from staff on Monday.
The city currently contracts with GFL Environmental Inc. for curbside recycling pickup, with the province covering roughly half of the costs of service delivery. Solid waste and recycling manager Jason Sherband expects residents may see some changes in 2026 when the handover is complete. If council approves the recommendation to opt out on July 1, 2024, rather than waiting until Dec. 31, 2025, the CMO is expected to first approach GFL to determine if they’ll continue providing the service. If not, the CMO will issue a request for proposals.The current municipal recycling program collection, processing and marketing contract with GFL Environmental includes an early termination clause with set dollar amounts to terminate for each year of the contract.
