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. 

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.
