Solid Waste Management

COVID-19 Updates:

The City of Vaughan Joint Operations Centre, 2800 Rutherford Road, is closed to the public as of March 16, until further notice. The following counter services will be impacted: green bin and blue box exchange and purchase; garbage tag sales and new homeowner bin distribution.

Blue Boxes and Green Bins

Broken City of Vaughan branded blue boxes and green bins can now be exchanged through home delivery. Please call Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281 and staff will coordinate your delivery date and provide program information.

Garbage Tags

Garbage tags for over the limit garbage (over 3 items) are available by calling Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281. Staff will mail out these items. Payment will be taken over the phone using Visa, MasterCard or American Express.

Help make waste collection safer for front line staff

Used masks, gloves, tissues and wipes must be bagged as garbage. Do not place these items in the Blue Box - they will be left behind by waste collectors. Residents are asked to carefully bag all garbage and green bin waste in plastic bags to safely contain the material. Read more about how to dispose of items safely.
