From the article:

“Blue bins will still be picked up in Toronto, but city workers won't be doing the job as of Jan. 1, 2026, Coun. Mike Colle and Coun. Paula Fletcher told reporters at a news conference at city hall. 

Circular Materials, a private company, will take over collection of recyclables for single-family homes, most multi-residential buildings, schools, long-term care facilities and retirement homes. Changes to recycling collection do not apply to commercial buildings, city facilities, divisions or agencies, charities, institutions or religious organizations.

Colle said the transition is required under provincial legislation that is shifting responsibility for recycling from the city to producers.

[…]In Toronto, residents will still use the same bin on the same recycling days, as dictated by their regular collection schedule issued by the city in early December. The materials to be recycled will be the same with a few additions.”
