The community recycling depot in the St. James Civic Centre parking lot will need to close to accommodate construction.

If you use the community recycling depot on Ness Avenue, you’ll want to take note of some changes.

Construction is starting soon on the St. James Civic Centre expansion. That means the community recycling depot in the parking lot will need to close. The last date you can bring recyclables to the location is May 4, 2025.

We know this closure may be inconvenient. We appreciate your understanding.

Here are some ways you can work around this closure:

Before tossing something in the trash, search Recyclepedia for where it should go.

The St. James Civic Centre will close beginning June 15, 2025 until next fall. The Ab McDonald Arena will be open during its regular ice seasons. Check the expansion project’s website for the latest updates through construction.
