Search instructions
Enter the item that is being disposed of in the text box below and select from the list. If the item you’re searching for is not displayed, please contact Service Vaughan at 905-832-2281 or email service@vaughan.ca.
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 charitable organization, or participate in the City’s Curbside Giveaway Days.
