What can I recycle?

Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling takes many items. If you are not sure what can and cannot go in your blue box, please check the list.

Electronic recycling: e-waste

You can get rid of electronics at no charge by bringing them to the Huron Landfill at 2087 Concession 6 E during business hours. Electronics are prepared and shipped off site. Don't forget to wipe your drives!

Green Cone Digesters

We offer Green Cone Digesters for sale to help you cut down on household garbage. Contents from green cone digesters can also help feed your garden! If you would like one, email us!

Mattresses & box springs

For a fee, mattresses and box springs can be taken to the Huron Landfill where they will be prepared for shipping off site. 

Batteries

Single-use batteries can be brought to the Scale House at the Huron Landfill site at 2087 Concession 6 E and they will be shipped to a recycling facility.

Razors

We are working with Gillette® and Terracycle to recycle used razors through their Gillette razor program. Simply put them in the bin located at the Ripley Huron Community Centre and they will take care of the rest.
