What Goes Where?

NEW! Waste-less Virtual Visits

Struggling to meet the three-item garbage limit? City Staff can help!

Every wondered if you are properly sorting your waste materials or if an item is recyclable? To help sort out the garbage from the recycling, City staff are offering one on one coaching sessions. These 20 minute sessions are designed to help you understand what goes where, reduce landfill and answer any questions you have about the City’s waste collection services.

These virtual sessions can be offered through FaceTime, WhatsApp, Skype and Zoom. Book your appointment today by calling Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281 or email accessvaughan@vaughan.ca

What goes where?

Use this tool to determine how to sort waste into the recycling, green or garbage bins.

Before an item is tossed away for good, see if it can be recycled for a new purpose. Donate gently used items at a local shelter or participate in the City’s Curbside Giveaway.

For more information, visit the set out and large items section. Visit the York Region Waste Depots page to find out how to dispose items and household hazardous waste that the City does not collect.
