Earthub Bins

Frustrated with what to do with hard-to-recycle items? Tired of spending time cleaning and sorting your recycling, only to wonder where it's going or if it's getting contaminated along the way? Let's fix that! Together, we can prioritize reuse and proper recycling as much as possible.

Trial run - Phase 2 - open to Ottawa residents only.
Phase 2 subscriptions are 4 bi-weekly pick-ups from February 3rd to March 17th. 

How it works

Collect the applicable items for your Earthub Bin.

Collection items in your subscription package include items like egg cartons, plastic films, electronics, multi-layer plastics, and more!

Your collection day will be specified by January 24th when registration closes — until then, please hang onto your clean items! Too many items to fit in your bin? No problem - if they're in a bag or box beside your bin, we will take them during the Phase 2 subscription period.

Place your Earthub Bin outside your front door the night before your collection day.

Your items will be either reused or properly recycled!

Earthub distributes a variety of items back to the community for reuse and sends your hard-to-recycle items to trusted recycling companies. We’ve partnered with Greentec and HydroBlox, and are working to form additional partnerships with other reputable companies specializing in hard-to-recycle plastics!

Your collections will be starting on the week of February 3rd - hang onto all of these materials!

More Details

REGION

Currently, we are offering these services within Ottawa to single and multi family homes, with boundaries defined by the Ottawa River (North), Trim Road (East - Orleans), Barnsdale Road (South - Barrhaven), and just east of Stittsville Main Street (West - Stittsville). At this time, we are unable to offer this service to apartment buildings, as Earthub Bins must be placed directly outside your front door.

COLLECTION ITEMS

Collection items should be clean, free of food and organics, and should not be placed in your Earthub Bin until they are dry. Dirty and/or incorrect items will be left behind. The Earthub Bin Collection Service covers a wide range of items; please refer to the link above for the collection flyer. If all items do not fit in your Earthub Bin, we will gladly collect any overflow if it is placed in a bag or box next to your bin during the Phase 2 trial run.

TRANSPARENCY

At Earthub, we value transparency when it comes to your materials. We are currently partnered with Greentec and HydroBlox, and are working to establish additional partnerships with other reputable recycling companies that specialize in hard-to-recycle plastics. Once a partnership is finalized, whether for reuse or proper recycling, we will always share where your materials are going.

COLLECTION DAY

As part of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, specific days of the week will be designated to certain neighbourhoods with collections happening in the morning from 5:30am to 12pm. Please leave your Earthub Bin at your front door the night before (do not place it at the end of the driveway, as waste collections may mistakenly take it). You will receive further details about your collection day following your subscription purchase. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

RETURN & REFUND POLICY
