No waste collection on Friday, April 3
Pickup moved to Saturday, April 4
The holiday long weekend is around the corner! Before the festivities start, please note there will be no waste collection on Friday, April 3. Waste collection services scheduled for this date will be moved to Saturday, April 4.
You can still participate in the City’s Double-Up Days program, which is taking place the weeks of March 24 and 31, depending on your collection schedule. Here’s everything you need to know before participating:
You can place up to six garbage items curbside, and no paid garbage tags are required!
Place your items curbside on the morning of your scheduled collection day, no later than 7 a.m. Crews will not return for items set out late.
Large or bulky items, such as mattresses, chairs and tables, can be placed curbside, and each piece counts as one item toward the six-item limit. Read the guidelines for setting out large or bulky items for more details. The City reserves the right to refuse unsafe, overweight or oversized items.
Large mirrors and glass tables set out for collection must be wrapped in cardboard and clearly labelled “glass.”
Large metal items and appliances, such as dishwashers and refrigerators, are collected by appointment on Thursdays only. Book an appointment and pay online through Service Vaughan or call the City at 905-832-2281.
Household hazardous waste (such as batteries, cleaners and paints) and electronic waste (such as cellphones and laptops) are not collected curbside and must be taken to a York Region Waste Depot for safe disposal.
