Following the removal of plastic bags to collect recyclables, residents were reporting issues with overflowing bins and keeping their recyclable items inside their bins on windy days. Council directed staff to purchase larger recycling bins and to sell them at cost to residents.

The Township of Russell now has large recycling bins for sale. The larger bins:

  • Have a capacity of 121 litres
  • Have a lid to keep recyclable items contained during windy days
  • Have wheels
  • Are sold at-cost to residents for $31

The Township has large bins available for purchase. As directed by Council, the bins are being sold at cost, based on the bulk purchase price from a local supplier, being $31. The cost to residents for a larger bin could vary from one bulk purchase to the next.

The larger bins will not be identified or marked as Township of Russell and will not be exchangeable if they are broken. This initiative follows the same idea as the sale of backyard composters. The free recycling bin exchange only applies to the smaller square recycling bins, identified with the Township of Russell name.

Please note the sale of large recycling bins is only available to residents of the Township of Russell.

 

FAQ / Fact Sheet

Can I trade in my small recycling bin for the larger bin?

No, the larger bins are not exchangeable if they are broken or if you already have a smaller bin.

Are there changes to the waste contract?

The maximum container size allowed in the collection contract is 125-litres. As the size of the larger bin meets this specification, there are no changes or extra costs to the contract.

Can I use this new large bin for paper and cardboard even if it is blue?

Yes, as long as the material in the bin corresponds to the collection week.

What is the difference in price if I buy the larger bin from the Township instead of a local hardware store?

This initiative offers residents the ability to buy a larger 121-litre recycling bin at a lesser cost since they are purchased in large quantities

How much is a small recycling bin with the Township name?

Small recycling bins are sold  $7.00 each. If you have a broken recycling bin, we will replace it free of charge. The broken bin must be identified 'CANTON RUSSELL TOWNSHIP' to be replaced at no cost. The broken bin must be returned to the Township to receive a new one.

I am a new resident, can get a free larger bin instead of a small one?

No, the larger bins are not part of the new resident package. Larger bins are available for purchase at cost.

If I already purchased my own larger recycling bin, will the Township reimburse me the difference in the price?

No, we cannot reimburse your purchase.
