Official Georgina Collection Schedule, 2026 Calendar and Recycle Coach
The official Town page and Recycle Coach app are the safest tools because they combine pickup reminders, schedule changes and reporting options. The 2026 calendar is useful for a fridge view, but the app is better when holidays, snow, route changes or missed pickup reports are involved.
Use the Town waste page
The Town waste page links to the 2026 calendar, Recycle Coach, collection guidelines, bag tags, Blue Box program changes and missed pickup reporting steps.
Open Town waste and recyclingUse the 2026 Waste and Recycling Calendar
Residents received a printed two-sided 11 x 17 calendar, and the online 2026 calendar shows collection dates, reminders, e-waste events, curbside giveaway days and key waste rules.

Georgina Set-Out Rules: What to Do Before 7 a.m.
A correct calendar still fails if bags, bins or carts are late, hidden behind snowbanks, overweight, in the wrong container or missing required tags. Use this checklist before collection morning.
Pickup-ready setup
- Check your collection day in Recycle Coach or the 2026 calendar.
- Place items at the curb by 7 a.m.
- Do not set material out earlier than 8 p.m. the night before.
- Keep containers off roads, sidewalks and snowbanks.
- Keep each full can, container or bag under 22 kg / 50 lb.
- Use reusable metal or plastic garbage containers with detachable lids only.
- Do not use garbage bins with attached lids for curbside collection.
Common missed-pickup triggers
- Putting garbage out on the wrong alternating week.
- Setting material out after 7 a.m.
- Hiding bags or carts behind snowbanks.
- Using attached-lid garbage bins.
- Overweight bags, cans or containers.
- Putting renovation waste out as regular curbside garbage.
- Putting large items out without booking with GFL.
Georgina winter collection can be affected by snowbanks, rural road shoulders and plow piles. Keep containers visible and reachable, not on top of or behind snowbanks, roadways or sidewalks.
Garbage, Green Bin and Recycling Cart in Georgina
Georgina residents should think in three curbside streams. The schedule tells you when each stream is collected. The stream rules tell you what belongs in it.
⚫ Garbage
Garbage is collected every other week on your scheduled collection day. A maximum of five garbage bags is allowed per pickup: two bags without tags and up to three additional tagged bags.
Bag tags are sold at five tags for $10. Previously purchased bag tags remain valid. Bag tags should be clearly displayed on bags or secured to the top bag inside a regular garbage container.
🟢 Green bin organics
Green bins are collected every week, and there is no limit to the number of green bins that can be placed out. Town-approved green bins are listed as a maximum 12 gallons / 45 litres.
The 2026 calendar reminds residents not to place plastic, rubber, wax, wood, Styrofoam or garbage in the green bin.
🔵 Recycling cart
Residential recycling is now managed by Circular Materials, with GFL Environmental contracted for collection. Recycling cart collection begins in 2026 using the new 360-litre wheeled carts and is collected every other week.
For missed recycling collection, replacement carts or recycling questions, use the GFL recycling contact path.
Green bin is weekly. Garbage is every other week. Recycling cart is every other week. The final answer still comes from Recycle Coach or the official calendar because your exact day matters.
2026 Georgina Recycling Cart Change: Circular Materials, GFL and New Carts
Georgina’s residential Blue Box service moved to the producer-responsibility system. Circular Materials now manages residential Blue Box collection services, and GFL Environmental is contracted to provide collection.
360-litre wheeled recycling cart
Recycling cart collection begins in 2026 with new 360-litre wheeled carts. Collection is every other week, and residents should use the cart placement rules for automated collection.
Leave one metre clearance
Set the recycling cart with wheels facing your house and the lid opening toward the street. Keep at least one metre, or three feet, of clearance on all sides, away from green bins, fences and vehicles.
Use the correct recycling contact
For recycling collection issues, contact GFL at 1-833-779-4351 or N6Recycling@gflenv.com. For recycling cart questions, contact Circular Materials at CustomerService@CircularMaterials.ca.
Large Item Pickup in Georgina: New 2026 Call-In Process
Large item collection is no longer a simple “put it out and wait” system. Starting in 2026, Georgina large item collection is scheduled by call-in and handled by a dedicated collection vehicle.
Buy a $12 large item tag
Each large item requires its own large item tag. Examples include furniture, mattresses, box springs, toilets, appliances and carpeting.
Call GFL to schedule
Call GFL at 1-866-421-5625 to arrange curbside collection. Items will not be collected unless a special pickup has been booked.
Meet the Friday deadline
To have items collected on your regular garbage day, requests must be received no later than 11 a.m. on the Friday before your garbage collection week. Late requests may move to your next regular garbage collection day.
There is a five-item limit per collection, and each large item requires a tag. Do not put furniture, appliances or mattresses curbside without booking first.
Georgina Bag Tags, Extra Garbage and Container Limits
Bag tags solve extra garbage, but they do not remove all rules. Your garbage still needs to meet size, weight and container requirements.
Two untagged bags
Georgina’s garbage limit allows two bags without tags as part of the maximum five-bag pickup limit.
Up to three tagged bags
A maximum of five bags is allowed per garbage pickup, which means two without tags and up to three with tags.
Five tags for $10
Bag tags are available at the Civic Centre and Georgina Public Library branches. The official page lists five tags for $10; verify current pricing before buying.
Garbage bags cannot exceed 76 cm x 122 cm. Refuse cans must be reusable metal or plastic, not blue, no larger than 50 cm in diameter and 90 cm in height, with handles and detachable lids. Full containers or bags cannot exceed 22 kg / 50 lb.
Leaf, Brush and Yard Waste Collection in Georgina
Yard waste is collected with recycling every second week from April to November. The big resident mistake is treating grass clippings, dirt, sod or tree stumps as normal yard waste. Georgina does not accept those items in curbside yard waste collection.
Kraft bags, containers and bundles
Use environmentally friendly kraft paper bags or regular garbage containers with acceptable labels. Yard waste stickers are available at no charge.
- Tree and shrub clippings should be tied with string and bundled.
- Maximum bundle diameter is 60 cm / 24 inches.
- Maximum bundle length is 122 cm / 48 inches.
- Bundles or bags cannot exceed 22 kg / 50 lb.
Grass, dirt, sod and stumps
The Town does not accept grass clippings, dirt or sod in curbside yard waste collection. Tree stumps will not be collected.
Use the official calendar, Recycle Coach, or York Region disposal guidance before making a depot trip.
Seaweed and duckweed are considered yard waste under the Town’s collection guidance. Prepare them through the yard waste rules instead of putting them in regular garbage.
Curbside Giveaway Days in Georgina: Reuse Before Disposal
Georgina’s Curbside Giveaway Days let residents place gently used items marked “FREE” at the curb for others to take. This is useful for household items that are still usable and do not belong in landfill yet.
April to October reuse days
For 2026, the Town lists Curbside Giveaway Days on April 25, May 30, June 27, July 25, Aug. 29, Sept. 26 and Oct. 24.
Place items out by 7 a.m. and remove unclaimed items by 5 p.m.
Reusable items only
Acceptable examples include furniture, small appliances, toys, books, clothing, sports equipment, tools, kitchen items, décor and electronics in reusable condition.
Hazardous, infested or unsuitable items should not be placed out for giveaway.
Georgina Garbage Dump: Transfer Station and Household Hazardous Waste Depot
When residents search “georgina garbage dump,” they usually mean the Georgina Transfer Station and Household Hazardous Waste Depot at 23068 Warden Ave., just north of Ravenshoe Road. Use it for material that does not belong in normal curbside collection, but check York Region and Town guidance before driving.
23068 Warden Ave., Georgina
The Georgina Transfer Station is listed at 23068 Warden Ave., just north of Ravenshoe Road, Georgina, ON L4P 3E9.
Official hours listed by the Town: Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday closed; closed on Civic and statutory holidays.
Check York Region waste depotsHousehold hazardous waste
The Household Hazardous Waste drop-off at the Georgina site is listed as open Tuesday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed on Civic and statutory holidays.
Accepted HHW examples include poisonous, flammable, explosive and corrosive materials such as pesticides, chemicals, paints, solvents, aerosols, propane cylinders, batteries, drain cleaners, fluorescent tubes and energy efficient light bulbs.
Check hazardous waste guidanceDo not load renovation waste, chemicals, paint, electronics, batteries or appliances without checking the current depot rules and fees first. Some materials are free, some have fees, and some require special handling.
Batteries, Electronics, Textiles, White Goods and Renovation Waste
Special items are where many Georgina households lose time. If the item is hazardous, electronic, textile, metal, appliance-related or construction material, it may need a dedicated event, drop-off bin, depot or GFL booking.
Keswick fire station drop-off
Georgina Fire and Rescue Services and Call2Recycle provide a battery drop-off option at the Keswick fire station between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Use e-waste events
The 2026 calendar lists eWaste events at the Ice Palace on Saturday, May 9, 2026 and Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026. Check the Town event page before loading items.
Depot or scheduled pickup
White goods include refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, hot water tanks, dishwashers, BBQs, lawn mowers and similar appliances. Use the transfer station route or contact GFL at 1-866-421-5625 to arrange collection. Refrigerator doors must be removed.
Concrete, wood, drywall and other renovation waste are not collected curbside. Use York Region waste depots or the Georgina Transfer Station guidance for disposal options and fees.
House, Apartment, Cottage, Rural Road or Business: Which Georgina Rule Applies?
Collection rules can feel different depending on where you live in Georgina. A lake-area seasonal property, a farm road, an apartment, a townhouse complex and a standard curbside house may not use the same practical process.
Use Recycle Coach and calendar
For standard residential curbside collection, use the official Town schedule, Recycle Coach, bag tag rules and GFL contact paths.
Ask property management
Shared bin areas and private arrangements may differ from curbside house rules. Confirm with your superintendent, landlord, condo board or property manager before setting out large items or extra garbage.
Do not assume residential rules
Commercial waste may need private service or separate depot handling. The Blue Box producer transition is focused on residential recycling services, so businesses should confirm their own collection route.
Snowbanks, Rural Roads, Lake Wind and Missed Collection Problems
Georgina collection can be affected by snowbanks, rural shoulders, lake-effect wind, long driveways, road conditions, parked vehicles and blocked access. A correct calendar does not help if the collection crew cannot safely reach your material.
Keep material visible
Do not place containers on top of or behind snowbanks, on roadways or sidewalks. Clear a spot where collection crews can reach the material safely.
Secure light material
Recycling, yard waste and lightweight material can blow around in windy lakefront areas. Follow cart, bundle and bag prep rules carefully.
Rural road access matters
Keep bags, carts and large items away from parked vehicles, snow piles, ditches, mailboxes and construction material.
Missed Garbage, Recycling or Green Bin Pickup in Georgina
Before reporting a missed pickup, confirm the stream and the contact. Garbage, green bin, large items and recycling may use different paths because residential Blue Box collection is now managed under Circular Materials with GFL providing collection.
