Strathroy-Caradoc eyes 2026 green bin program
Strathroy-Caradoc municipal staff to will conduct a feasibility report on possible green bin program. The municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc is investigating a green bin program — a waste-management system focused on diverting organic waste, like food scraps and yard waste, from landfills. Councilors have asked for a staff report in advance of the next municipal budget. If approved, the program might be operational by late 2026. The action comes as the community approaches the threshold of 100 people per acre required by the province to start the program. Greg Willsie - strathroy - green bin Ward 2 Coun. Greg Willsie would like a green bin program explored in Strathroy-Caradoc. July 25, 2025. (Sean Irvine/CTV News London) Thanks to waste management cost savings already realized, the impact on taxpayers is expected to be minimal. 'The program will only be mandated to be implemented in the urban areas and the rural areas. I don't believe there's really a benefit. Anyone who wants to compost and has, you know, a quarter or half an acre is going to be doing that already,' said Greg Willsie, the Ward 2 councillor who raised the concept. Approximately 10,000 homes in Strathroy and Mt. Brydges are expected to receive the new service if it proceeds.

Strathroy-Caradoc police investigate homicide after fatal stabbing
A quiet residential neighbourhood in Strathroy was turned upside down Friday night as police in the community investigate what they're calling a homicide. Strathroy-Caradoc police were called to Ashby Crescent just after 5 p.m. following reports of an altercation between two men. Police say they arrived to find one man with stab wounds. The 27 year old later died of his injuries. A 25-year-old man has been arrested and taken into custody. Witnesses tell CTV News the two men had been working in the area, though this has not been confirmed by police. Strathroy-Caradoc Det. Sgt. Jason Cartwright said the service is getting help from OPP Major Crimes and Sarnia Police Forensics units. 'We aren't sure exactly what the relationship is between those two individuals. We're still investigating. The OPP Major Crimes Unit as well as the Sarnia Police Forensic Investigation Section is attending to give us a hand. This just occurred in the last couple hours, so charges, we will be looking at charges pending in the future,' said Det. Sgt. Cartright. In the meantime, a portion of Ashby Crescent has been cordoned off and closed to vehicular traffic as police investigate. Yellow crime scene tape can be seen wrapped around the front yards of two homes next to one another on the small street.
