Textile Collection Program Resumes
Effective October 26, 2020, Newmarket's textile recycling program has resumed and collection bins have been returned to their original locations. Residents are encouraged to drop-off unwanted clothing and textiles in the textile bins. As a reminder, please do not leave items outside the bins.

Items are accepted in all conditions, including items that are worn, torn, or stained.
