Waste Collection Guidelines
You must place all garbage and recycling at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. You are allowed one garbage bag and it must be placed:
* In a clear plastic bag (completely transparent and colourless)
* In a clear colourless bag within a garbage container
* loose in a container
Recyclables, household hazardous waste, electronic waste or leaf and yard waste items are banned from the landfill. If these items are in your household waste bag it will not be picked-up.
If your green bin or small kitchen container is broken, bring it in! We will have it recycled and give you a new one. If you're a new resident, Dufferin County will provide you with a Green Bin and a small kitchen container for your organics.
Green Bins and small kitchen containers are available at the locations below:
* Our municipal office at 203 Main St. E.
* The Orangeville Operations Centre
* The County office at 55 Zina St. in Orangeville.
Extra containers are also available for a fee.
As of July 1, 2023, Dufferin County is no longer managing the recycling program. Circular Materials Ontario (CMO) will oversee the residential Blue Box program in Dufferin County. For new or replacement Blue Boxes, please call GFL at 1.888.941.3345 ext.1 to make arrangements. For more information on the Blue Box Transition and for residential recycling information, please visit www.circularmaterials.ca/dufferincounty.
