Missed Garbage Collection

To ensure efficient recycling and waste pick up, items must be set out properly on recycling and waste collection day. 

Garbage should be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. the day of collection. The time of collection could change at any time without notice.

Collections

• Garbage is collected every other week on your scheduled collection day
• The garbage limit is three items every other week – including bulky items.
• A paid garbage tag is required for any item exceeding the three-item limit. Tags can be purchased at Vaughan City Hall, the Joint Operations Centre and most community centres.
• The City of Vaughan will collect a total of 13 garbage items (with 10 paid garbage tags) per location on the scheduled collection day.
