Coffee cups, grocery bags, and toothpaste tubes can finally go in your blue and black bins as Miller Waste takes over collection OTTAWA — Starting New Year’s Day, Ottawa residents will notice a significant change in who picks up their recycling bins, even as the familiar blue and black containers remain on their curbs. Who’s Taking Over and Why? Miller Waste Services will assume responsibility for collecting recyclables from Ottawa households on January 1, replacing city workers who have handled the task for decades. The contractor is working under Circular Materials, a national non-profit organization that will administer the program.
