WASTE REDUCTION WEEK - OCTOBER 19-25!

Everyone plays a part in keeping the environment clean, green and healthy. What actions do you take to reduce, reuse and recycle? There are many ways to reduce, reuse and recycle that save money, space and enhance your lifestyle! Here are easy tips to help reduce your waste footprint.

Help make waste collection safer for front line staff
Vaughan’s goal is 'target zero' with no masks, gloves and wipes entering the

blue box. Masks, gloves and wipes must be bagged and placed in the garbage for collection. Blue boxes containing these items will be left behind by the waste collectors. Please do your part and help protect our frontline workers! Waste collectors will be using new stickers to communicate this issue with residents. Read more about how to dispose of items safely.
