We are frequently contacted about garbage dumped in construction areas, in parks, on boulevards, on the street, and at the community mailboxes.
The weekly City collection takes most of your regular waste and recycling. Twice a month, large items and unlimited clear garbage bags are picked up.
Textile bins are located throughout the City for easy drop off and 4 conveniently located and open community recycling depots take Styrofoam, metal, larger quantities of cardboard, plastic bags including Milk bags for sleeping mats and even 4 car tires.
Batteries and electronics, paint and oils can be dropped off free of charge at the Miller’s hazardous drop off. Once a month the city will pick up appliances from your curb, just book an appointment. A new Habitat for Humanity Restore opened at 16th and Fincham Avenue, alternative the Salvation Army store on Markham Road will take many items.
The Region of York has many other locations to take unwanted items.
Please help us keep our communities green and clean.
