On Dec. 15, the Town of Smooth Rock Falls posted its 2026 waste and recycling collection calendar on its website, listing pickup days for waste, recycling, and "Businesses/Enterprises Only" throughout the year.

The calendar gives residents a single reference for pickup dates from January through December. No additional instructions or changes to collection practices are listed with the schedule.

The document is bilingual (English and French) and laid out month by month in a grid with days of the week.

A legend identifies three categories of service: "Recycling Collection Day," "Waste Collection Day," and "Businesses/Enterprises Only." Some dates are specifically marked for business-only collection, separate from general waste and recycling days.

The calendar is provided as an image showing each month of 2026 with numbered dates and the legend indicating which dates apply to each type of collection.

Residents can view the calendar on the Town of Smooth Rock Falls website at smoothrockfalls.ca/notices/2026-waste-and-recycling-calendar.
