Etobicoke Living: March 2020

Tuesday, 24 March 2020

Collection of garbage, Blue Bin (recycling), Green Bin (organics), and oversized and metal items is not impacted and will continue as scheduled.
All personal hygiene and sanitary products that would typically be put in the Green Bin, including used tissues, should now be disposed of in the garbage.
Please ensure that all material placed in garbage bins is bagged, specifically cleaning products such as wipes, tissues/napkins and other sanitary/hygiene products.
Bins should only be placed out for collection if they are full.

To ensure health and safety, support the continued functioning of Solid Waste Management Services’ operations and allow for physical distancing:

Seasonal yard waste collection is suspended. Residents are asked to store yard waste on their property until the service resumes.
Drop-Off Depots (Transfer Stations) are closed to the general public. Garbage, recycling, organics and yard waste from residents will not be accepted. Only those with an existing registered account can continue to bring material to Drop-off Depots (Transfer Stations). No new account requests will be processed at this time. Drop-Off Depots will not operate on Saturdays.
Toxic Taxi services and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop-off are suspended. Hazardous waste should be safely stored until services resume.
Bin deliveries and bin exchanges are suspended. Existing service requests will be completed once service resumes.
All Community Environment Days scheduled in April have been cancelled.
