Sarnia to launch green bin program in spring 2027, collecting organic waste weekly and reducing garbage pickup to every other week.
Sarnia will launch a green bin program in spring 2027, collecting food waste, yard waste, pet waste, diapers, and sanitary products weekly while reducing garbage collection to every other week.
The change, driven by provincial rules and a 2024 waste master plan, aims to divert organic waste from landfills.
The city seeks approval for $3.5 million in annual contracts for collection and processing, plus $1.5 million for bins, raising property taxes by about 1.25% over 10 years.
Weekly yard and brush collection will increase, and the system is expected to be more cost-effective than similar programs elsewhere.
Council will review the plan on January 19, 2026.
