Waste Management Planning Workshop for Small Business Recycling Program Transition – November 18, 2026

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills is reminding small industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) businesses that changes are coming to their municipal recycling services. 

Please note: These changes are only applicable to small businesses/IC&I users who currently receive municipal recycling collection.
