Night Collection
There are two different night collection customers, those living in:
No free Garbage Bag Tags in 2012
Your allotment of free City-issued garbage bag tags expired on December 31, 2011 (overflow garbage bags with expired tags will not be picked up). Council decided, when approving the 2012 Solid Waste Management Services' operating/capital budget in November 2011, to discontinue distribution of free City-issued garbage bag tags to residential curbside customers. It is now the responsibility of residents to pay for each Garbage Bag Tag required to ensure any overflow garbage bags are collected. Please make sure your overflow garbage has a valid tag attached to it and that the tag is easily visible to collection crews.
Residential garbage bag tags and commercial yellow garbage bags are sold at Toronto Canadian Tire stores. Residential tags cost $3.10 each. Commercial yellow garbage bags are sold in a package of five for $15.50.
Fees
All residential properties are being charged for their garbage disposal on a volume-based rate system; either through the Bins System or through the use of paid garbage tags (Bags System).
