Councillor Castro Liu - Community Update - March 29, 2022
Dear Ward 3 Residents,
Double Up Days for garbage collection
To make seasonal cleaning easier, we are offering Double-up Days! You can put out up to 6 garbage items during Double-Up Days, as opposed to the regular 3 items, without purchasing garbage tags. A garbage item means a bag, bundle, garbage can or piece of furniture. Please set out your items on your regular garbage collection day.
Spring Double-Up Days
Yellow zone: March 29 - April 1
Blue zone: April 5-8
Use the colour zone map on page 1 of the Waste Management Calendar to determine which week applies to you.

A valid reason for requiring more than one permit is required (i.e., a second permit will be issued for accessibility reasons, for Oak Ridges Community Centre users or if there are tenant/property owner arrangements at a particular address). Carpooling is strongly encouraged.
