Multi-residential garbage and large item collection
Page Content

Garbage collection

Provided twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday.
 
Garbage collection times
 
Waste materials must be set out no later than 7 a.m. on collection day.

Set-out requirements

Unless otherwise approved, only front-end wheeled bins (three to eight cubic yard capacity) in good condition, can be used to collect garbage.
 
Owners/property managers are responsible for the purchase/lease and maintenance of all front-end garbage bins. They are also responsible to ensure that waste is disposed of in the correct way set out in the table below. The City may temporarily terminate collection services if non-collectible waste is found in the garbage bins of buildings. 
 
For a full list of unacceptable garbage (residual waste) refer to the City's Waste Collection By-law 135-2017 (PDF).
 
Bulky Items
The City of Vaughan will only pick up large items that have been made and approved through an online appointment.
There is no fee for this service. The City will not accept appointment requests made by phone or individual residents, tenants or owners. 
  • The collection of large items is typically provided once every two weeks. 
  • Keep large items dry. This reduces the weight of the item for collection crews.
  • Consider donating functional items to families in need and/or charitable organizations.
  • The City reserves the right to refuse overweight and/or oversized items. Bulky items must be under 150 pounds (68 kilograms).
