Get new green bins, garbage tags and blue boxes online!
With summer holidays wrapping up soon, 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, garbage tags and blue boxes online and in person.
Buy or exchange City green bins online
You can exchange and 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-issued 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 be on the bin to be eligible for a free exchange.
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.

What goes where?
