Peel offering excess waste collection
May 20, 2015 · 0 Comments
Starting this week and running until May 29, Peel Region residents can take advantage of a two-week excess waste collection for curbside pick-up.
During the period, residents may place unlimited quantities of acceptable waste at the curb on their regularly scheduled collection day. For this period only, no garbage tags will be required.
Set out standards must be followed and residents should adhere to the following guidelines — Place organics, recycling and garbage at the curb no later than 7 a.m. but no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before; keep the weight of bags, containers and bundles of wood to less than 20 kilograms (40 pounds) each; remove any item that is used to keep container lids shut (such as bungee cords) before collection; and containers must have two handles that are attached or moulded to the exterior and have lids that are easy to remove
Landscaping/renovation/construction building materials (such as sod, soil, shale, cut stone, drywall, tiles and large amounts of wood), tires and automotive parts, waste electronics and household hazardous waste are not collected at the curb at any time and can be dropped off at Peel’s Community Recycling Centres. Fees apply on some materials.
For more information on these programs, call the Region at 905-791-9499, 905-584-2216 or visit peelregion.ca/waste
