Bag tags

All bags or containers set out for pick up by the waste collector must have a tag prominently displayed. If garbage is set out in a regular garbage container, please have tag secured to top bag inside container, not to the container. There is no limit to the number of green bins or blue boxes that can be placed out for collection. More information is available in our list of frequently asked questions.

Pricing

Bag tags are available for purchase at the Civic Centre and at all of our branches. Five tags are $10.00 and large item tags are $12.00 each. 

New bag tag rules

Effective July 4, 2022, tag exemptions related to COVID-19 are ending, and new bag tag rules come into effect. A maximum of five bags (two without tags, three with tags) are allowed per garbage pickup. Collection times may vary. To ensure collection all materials must be out at the curb before 7:00 a.m. Note: Previously purchased bag tags remain valid and can be used after July 4.

Large item tags

A large item tag is needed for large items such as furniture, mattresses, box springs, toilets, appliances and carpeting.

Tags for garbage bags or large items are available for purchase at the Civic Centre and at all of our branches. Each large item will require its own large item orange tag and the maximum of five collectible items during the regular bi-weekly garbage collection schedule includes tagged large items.

Used tissues, latex gloves and masks go in the garbage lined with a plastic bag. They do not go in recycling. If you have questions, contact customer service at 905-476-4301 or GFL at 1-866-421-5625.
