STARTING TODAY: Extra Double-Up Days for Storm Cleanup
The City of Vaughan is making storm cleanup easier starting today!
In response to the recent severe weather, the City is adding extra Double-Up Days this month, allowing households to set out up to six garbage items on their scheduled garbage collection days with no garbage tags required.
Residents in blue zones can use the extra collection weeks of Sept. 8 and Sept. 22, while residents in yellow zones can participate during the weeks of Sept. 15 and Sept. 29.
Here’s everything you need to know about Double-Up Days:
Place your items curbside on the morning of your 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.
