There is NO winter garbage exemption period in Mississauga due to rising COVID-19 cases

Peel Region advises residents that the winter garbage exemption period (originally scheduled from January 24 to February 4) is suspended.  This is being done in response to the record-rising COVID-19 cases, and to ensure the health and safety of essential front-line staff while maintaining Regional services for the long term.

Residents are reminded that:

·     Garbage tags must be used to dispose of excess garbage bags.

·     Untagged garbage will not be collected.

·     Bulky item collection will continue every garbage pick up day.

Residents can visit peelregion.ca/waste to order garbage tags if required.  Residents can also order garbage tags by phone by calling 905-791-9499.

Here’s your 2022 waste collection schedule to keep handy.

Residents can also take their excess garbage and bulky items to any Peel Community Recycling Centre (CRC), where disposal fees will apply. Check peelregion.ca/waste for locations and hours of operation. Please note that the CRCs only accept credit/debit payment. Cash payments are not accepted.
