Waste Collection days are changing in January.

If you live on the west side of Dixie Road, your garbage day will change to Wednesday as of January 1, 2016. If you live on the east side of Dixie, your garbage day will remain on Monday.

Carts
As approved by Regional Council (Resolution 2015-422), residents wishing to exchange their carts will have the ability to do so starting April 2016.  The $25 exchange fee per cart will be waived from April 1st 2016 to April 30, 2016.      
Residents will not be able to request a change prior to April 2016 as they will need to take a '90 day challenge' in order to make an informed decision about the suitable cart size for their home. 
Yard Waste Collection Has Ended

With the end of the yard waste collection season, residents may do any of the following:
  •  place the leaves in a back yard composter.
  • Let Mother Nature take its course and allow the leaves to degrade under the snow.
  • Drop off at the 4 CRC - Fees Apply.  Only the Caledon or Bolton Community Recycling Centres will accept leaf and yard waste free of charge.
  • Hold onto yard waste and place bagged or bundled yard waste out at the curb during Christmas tree collection starting the week of January 11, 2016 on your scheduled recycling collection day.
  • Hold onto your bagged leaf waste until the seasonal collection begins next Spring (beginning on March 14, 2016, on your scheduled collection day).
Additionally, starting with the new collection contract in 2016, Yard Waste collection service will be extended and begin two weeks earlier in March and extend two weeks later into December.
