| Eligibility | |
| Application | Garbage is picked up every other week. Recycling and compost are picked up weekly. View Schedule Here Garbage collected at curbside requires a garbage tag for collection and must be out by 7 am. As of February 7, 2022, garbage placed out for collection must be in a clear plastic bag with the option of up to two small shopping bag-sized privacy bags. Rigid containers can still be used for garbage set-out, but if the container is lined, it must be with a clear plastic bag. Diapers set out separately in a clear plastic bag do not require a garbage tag on garbage pick up days. Green Bin/yard waste is collected year round for composting at the Waste Diversion Site (landfill). Bags or containers of grass clippings require a garbage tag. All other yard waste (e.g., leaves) does not require a tag. Call for more information or e-mail enviroservices@orillia.ca. |
