Drop-off Depots and Container Purchase Locations
The charts on this page include site locations, hours of operation and what type of materials can either be dropped off or containers purchased.

Helium and propane tanks & cylinders – disposal
Even when empty are a dangerous hazardous waste, regardless of supplier claims. These must never be put in either your Blue Bin or Garbage Bin and must be taken to a Drop-off Depot (PDF) for proper disposal.

Drop-off Depots
Check the chart for a summary of the many items that are accepted for disposal and recycling (e.g., waste, yard waste, recyclables, household hazardous waste (HHW), computers, etc.).

• Locations

Electronic equipment
If you have curbside collection, you can set out electronic equipment for collection.

Or you can take computers, monitors, printers, fax machines and televisions to a Drop-off Depot (PDF). Limit of five units per day. No stereos, VCRs, photocopiers or microwaves.

VHS tapes, CDs and DVDs do not go in your Blue Bin. Please pass them on for reuse or put them in your Garbage Bin. Some electronics stores accept CDs and DVDs for recycling. Check dowhatyoucan.ca.

HHW Reuse Centres at Drop-off Depots
There are also Reuse Centres at your local HHW Depots where residents can donate useable but unwanted HHW materials, including oil and latex paint. These items are sorted and set aside for others to pick up, for free.

Where to buy official City containers
Green Bins and kitchen containers can be purchased at your local Home Hardware store or City sites listed on this chart below. Some sites also have composters. To exchange a broken Green Bin and/or kitchen container (the damaged bin must be returned or charges apply), or get one free if you have just moved and don’t have one (proof of residency within 90 days required), visit any of the City of Toronto sites. Exception: Standard charges apply for composters.

Blue Bins and Garbage Bins
To order, exchange or request a repair for a Blue Bin or Garbage Bin, please call 416-392-BINS (2467).
