Extra Garbage or Organics? Buy a Green Bin or Garbage Tags Online!
As you enjoy the final weeks of summer, you may have some extra waste materials to place at the curb – which may require more bins or bags. Here’s how to buy new green bins and garbage tags online and in person.
Buy garbage tags online
The garbage limit is three bags or items every other week – including large and bulky items. A paid garbage tag is required for any item exceeding the three-item limit and can be purchased through Service Vaughan. Garbage tags are $26 per sheet. Each sheet includes 10 tags. The tags will be mailed to your home. With the use of garbage tags, you may set out a maximum of 13 garbage items.
Buy or exchange City green bins online
You can buy green bins online through Service Vaughan. Green bins are $27 plus HST and the bin will be delivered right to your home – delivery fees apply.
If your City-branded green bin is broken or damaged, you can sign up online through Service Vaughan to exchange it for a new one, free of charge. The City of Vaughan logo must appear on the bin to be eligible for a free exchange.
Buy bins and tags in person
Garbage tags and green bins are only available for in-person purchase at the following community centres, while supplies last:

What goes where?
If you don’t know where to dispose of an item, use the search function in the online ‘What Goes Where?’ sorting tool to check. You can also download the free Recycle Coach app from the Apple App Store or Google Play for more sorting help. The app provides waste-less tips and a personalized collection schedule with optional alerts on what to put out at the curb each week.
