Starting Dec. 31, 2025, household recycling will no longer be accepted at the EnviroDepot. Because Styrofoam is included in the new curbside recycling collection program, it can no longer be accepted at the EnviroDepot. Woodstock residents will still be able to drop off large items, construction materials, electronics and household hazardous waste.

Under the new provincial recycling program, the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, responsibility for providing residential recycling has shifted to producers. Under this new legislation, we are no longer able to collect household recycling.

The City does not have the regulated authority to accept and process organic material at the EnviroDepot.

The EnviroDepot is a convenience depot intended to help divert waste from the landfill. Residents can either place household garbage at the curb for collection on their collection day, or drop off materials to the Salford Landfill, 384060 Salford Rd, Salford.

Styrofoam is included in the acceptable materials for curbside recycling under the new provincial recycling program and can therefore no longer be accepted at the EnviroDepot.
