Recycling in Yukon

Learn more about Yukon’s enhanced recycling system.

Your recycling program

New regulations in the Yukon territory shift the financial and operational responsibility for recycling from local governments to the organizations that produce and sell packaging and paper.

Circular Materials is the not-for-profit producer responsibility organization responsible for implementing and managing the new extended producer responsibility (EPR) system in the Yukon territory.

The transition to this new framework will begin on November 1, 2025.

Why Recycle?

By recycling, you make a difference. 

Your recyclables – once collected, sorted and processed – can be used again and again, coming back into your home as another product or packaging! 

By recycling, you help protect our environment and conserve our planet’s natural resources.
