Bin exchange FAQs

What if my bin is not placed outside for exchange? What does the City do? You must reschedule the delivery for the next available week through Service Vaughan. It may be one or more weeks depending on demand. A fee may be applied for this accommodation in the future.

What will happen if my bins are full? The courier will not exchange full bins. Please make sure they are empty upon pick up.

Is there a maximum number of bins per delivery? Yes, we ask that residents only replace four City of Vaughan bins per delivery.

Where should the bin be placed for a townhouse/row house? Wherever you normally receive deliveries from couriers, such as FedEx, UPS or Purolator, is where you should place the bin for exchange.

Refund policy

The City does not issue refunds for blue boxes, green bins, garbage tags or kitchen containers. Refer to the Refund Policy (PDF) for more information.
