There’s an app for that.. but the app is changing.
The Town of Carleton Place has launched “Recycle Coach”- an new app in the waste collection domain, available now for your desktop or mobile device.
Recycle Coach allows residents to get waste disposal information when they need it, and it is absolutely free.
It has all the features you might expect: a curbside collection calendar; collection reminders and notifications; geolocation, and user-interaction.
Didn’t the old app do all that?
Yes, but Recycle Coach will integrate with the new format for Extended Producer Responsibility, which will take full effect on January 1st, 2026.
Beginning January 1st, the entire Province’s recycling program will be operated and managed by one (1) organization called Circular Materials Ontario (CMO). For residents, this means no matter where you go in Ontario, recycling will be the same.
By switching to Recycle Coach now, the Town will be able to integrate its app with CMO’s upcoming app.
The Carleton Place Waste Solutions app will no longer be supported or updated beyond December 1st, 2025.
The new app is more cost-effective than our previous app and is Canadian-owned with the company headquarters located in Toronto. This provides easy access to support and the ability to pay invoices in Canadian dollars.
