Our Halton Waste Management team is ready for spring and returning our most popular services and programs for our community. Here are a few key updates:
Yard Waste curbside collection is back!
Our seasonal yard waste collection started the week of March 30 and is underway in urban areas.
- Use a paper yard waste bag or an open, labelled, reusable, rigid container (no lids, please)
- Please put your yard waste at the curb every other week on your regular collection day by 7 a.m.
- Never miss a pick-up! Check your schedule and sign up for reminders.
