Garbage

Garbage can and lid

This item is garbage.

Place this item next to your garbage (grey) cart on your garbage collection day.

Special disposal instructions or restrictions:

Additional information:

  • Consider keeping and re-using your old garbage cans for storing items in your household or for your yard waste.
  • If your garbage cart is already full, excess garbage must be placed in a garbage bag. Tag the bag of excess garbage with a Region of Peel garbage tag.
  • Place the tagged bag or items close to — but not on top of — your garbage cart, leaving at least 1 m (3 ft) of clear space between your extra garbage item and your cart.
  • Bulky items or furniture are always collected on your garbage week.  Find your collection calendar.
