The in-unit recycling (Blue Bin) bag program will be discontinued as of January 1, 2026.
To help residents in apartments, condos and co-ops (with nine or more units) collect and properly dispose of their Green Bin organics, the City provides free in-unit containers. To be eligible for the program, buildings must receive City garbage collection service.
Important Information
- Requests for in-unit containers must come from the building owner or property manager.
- For first time orders only (you have not previously ordered containers for your building), buildings are eligible to receive an in-unit container for each unit in the building, plus an additional 10 per cent of the total number of units for replacements.
- Every year, buildings are eligible to receive an additional 10 per cent of the total number of units in the building for replacements.
Available Containers
30 cm (12″) L x 21.5 cm (8.5″) H x 23 cm (9″) D
In-unit organics (Green Bin) containers are for residents to collect food waste and other Green Bin waste and dispose of it in the building’s designated organics/Green Bin area.
