North Bay, ON – Feb. 20, 2026 – The City of North Bay is reminding residents of an upcoming change to operating hours at the Waste Diversion Facility.
Effective Feb. 23, the Waste Diversion Facility, located off Station Road, will be open to the public Wednesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will no longer be open on Mondays and Tuesdays.
These new hours match other drop-off services at the facility, such as household hazardous waste, and ensure staff are onsite during all public hours so all services are properly supervised. In the past, unsupervised drop-off sometimes meant garbage and bulky items ended up in recycling bins. When that happens, the materials can’t be recycled and must go to the Merrick Landfill, reducing waste diversion and increasing disposal costs.
