Very large households (7+ people) and those that create home healthcare waste can apply for the Excess Garbage Cart Program.
Residents can drop off 2 bags of garbage at an Eco Station per day for free. Garbage must be in residential-size bags (75L or similar volume). No recycling, food scraps or yard waste can be mixed in, or a fee will apply. Large renovation materials, such as toilets, cabinets and concrete, will be subject to a fee. Eco Stations accept larger volumes of garbage for a fee.
Residents can drop off excess garbage at Big Bin Events for free.
Big Bin events happen throughout the city on select weekends in spring, summer and fall.
