Waste Management

Combined Bulky & Metal Item Collection - June 4th, 2012

Victoria Day Waste Management Notice

Garbage 

Effective September 29, 2008, the County of Simcoe launched the curbside organics collection program.  This is another step towards greater waste reduction and diversion.  County Council approved a 1 bag or container of garbage per house per week.  Tags are only for household garbage, and not for bulky items or yard waste.  Let's continue working together for the greater good of Simcoe County and our environment.

Note: To encourage maximum participation in the recycling and green bin programs, the price of garbage tags for waste over the one bag/week limit has increased to $3.00 per tag, sold in sheets of 5 for $15.00. The yellow, $2.00 garbage tags are permitted to be used until April 1st, 2012, following which additional bags must have a new $3 tag affixed in order to be eligible for collection. Click here for information on how to exchange your supply of $2.00 tags:

• Maximum 1 bag per week
• Additional bags must display garbage tags

Garbage Container Size and Weight Limits 

The County of Simcoe notes that County-wide our collection contractors have been encountering increasing difficulties, at some locations, with oversized and overweight containers.  The County's container size and weight restrictions have not changed with the implementation of the standardized one bag limit.  The difficulty with oversized cans is that due to the can's size it is easy to exceed the limits for:

• Volume max 77L (17 gallons) and/or
• Weight max 20 kg (44 lbs) *applies to bags and cans
