Brockville Garbage Schedule Helper: Pickup Day, Waste Calendar, Bag Tags and Green Bin Rules
This Brockville garbage schedule guide is built for the real collection-morning question: what zone am I in, what goes out before 7 a.m., do I need a green bag tag, who handles recycling now, and where do I take leaves, hazardous waste, electronics or items the truck will not collect?
Quick Answer: How to Check the Brockville Garbage Schedule
Brockville waste collection happens once per week and is divided into four zones. Use the City’s 2026 Waste Collection Calendar to determine your collection day. Garbage, recycling and green bin collection are tied to your scheduled collection day, but recycling service questions now go through Emterra and Circular Materials.

Find your collection zone
The official City page says waste collection is divided into four zones. Use the Waste Collection Calendar rather than guessing from a neighbour’s curb.
One bag per household per week
Brockville allows one garbage bag or container per household per week. Extra bags need a green garbage bag tag.
Contact Emterra for collection issues
Brockville recycling is managed under Ontario’s Blue Box transition. For missed recycling, replacement bins and other recycling collection questions, contact Emterra.
Before bed, check your zone, confirm the 7 a.m. set-out rule, count your garbage bags, add tags if needed, and keep recycling clean, dry and loose in the correct container.

Brockville Garbage Bag Tags, Large Item Tags and Set-Out Rules
Brockville’s curbside garbage rules are simple, but strict: one bag per household per week, extra bag tags for additional garbage, large item tags for bulky items, and material out before 7 a.m. on collection day.
One bag or container per week
Residents are allowed one bag of garbage per household per week. If you place extra bags or containers out, each additional item needs the appropriate green garbage bag tag.
$3 green garbage bag tag
Green garbage bag tags are sold individually for $3.00. The City lists sales locations such as City Hall, Metro, Superstore, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Quickie Convenience stores and Oxford Mini Mart.
$10 orange large item tag
Large items require an orange large item tag. There may be a delay between regular waste collection and large item pickup, so do not assume the same truck takes everything at once.
Keep bags under 50 lb
Garbage bags and cans must weigh less than 22.6 kg / 50 lb and be smaller than the City’s listed size limit for collection.
Use collection day only
Place garbage and large items at the curb before 7 a.m. on collection day. Avoid early set-outs because wind, pests, animals and snowbanks can create problems and missed pickup.
If you regularly exceed one bag, buy tags before collection morning. The most common avoidable miss is an extra bag without the green tag attached.
Brockville Recycling Collection and Circular Materials
Brockville’s Blue Box recycling program is managed through Circular Materials under Ontario’s Blue Box transition. The City says there is no change to how and what residents recycle during the transition, but recycling collection questions now go through Emterra.
Contact Emterra
For missed recycling collection, replacement bins and other recycling questions, contact Emterra at 1-888-597-1541 or customercareont@emterra.ca.
Contact Circular Materials
For broader recycling program questions, Circular Materials can be contacted at 1-877-667-2626 or customerservice@circularmaterials.ca.
Fix the reason before next pickup
Yellow or red recycling stickers usually mean contamination, oversized cardboard, wrong container type, harmful materials or material not clean, dry and empty.
🔵 Recycling setup
Place recycling at the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day. Materials should be clean, dry and loose. Hazardous materials, batteries and sharps do not belong in recycling.
📦 Cardboard
Flatten and bundle cardboard. Oversized cardboard can trigger an oops sticker, so check the current Circular Materials guide before setting out large boxes.
✅ Use the guide
Use Circular Materials and the Recycle Coach app if you are unsure whether an item belongs in recycling, garbage, green bin, hazardous waste or transfer station drop-off.
Brockville Green Bin Collection
The City provides weekly Green Bin collection for household organic waste on the same day as your regularly scheduled garbage collection. Place your green bin out every week, even if it is not full.
Same day as garbage
Green bin pickup is weekly and follows your regular garbage collection day. Use the Waste Collection Calendar to confirm your zone and day.
Food scraps and food-soiled paper
The City lists food scraps such as meat, fish, bones, eggs, dairy, fruits, vegetables, bread, pasta, coffee grounds, filters and tea bags, plus food-soiled paper such as paper towels, pizza boxes and paper napkins.
No plastic bags or pet waste
Plastic bags, plastic bottles, glass, metal, Styrofoam, pet waste, grease, liquids, coated containers, paper dairy cartons and restroom tissue are not accepted in the green bin.
Brockville accepts paper liner bags and certified compostable bags that are BPI or BNQ certified. Oxo-degradable products are not accepted.
The City provides green bins to lower-density residential properties. If you live in an apartment, multi-unit building or newly built home, confirm eligibility and bin delivery with the Solid Waste Division at 613-342-8772 ext. 3220.
Missed Garbage, Recycling or Green Bin Pickup in Brockville
If your material was not collected, first check the basics. The City says a red sticker may be placed on uncollected waste to explain the reason.
Check these common reasons
- Extra garbage bag without a $3 green bag tag.
- Large item without a $10 large item tag.
- Material placed out late.
- Bag was oversize or overweight.
- Unacceptable materials were included.
- Holiday or weather caused a schedule delay.
- Snowbank, road placement or sidewalk placement made access unsafe.
Different contacts for garbage and recycling
For garbage collection issues, contact the contracted waste collector, L.A. Knapp Inc., at 613-345-1941. For recycling collection issues, contact Emterra at 1-888-597-1541 or customercareont@emterra.ca.
For green bin, collection calendar or City solid waste questions, use the City waste page or Solid Waste Division contact.
If your item was stickered, fix the reason before the next collection day. Calling without checking the tag reason usually wastes time.
Winter Garbage Collection in Brockville
Snowbanks make collection harder and can make material unsafe to reach. The City asks residents to place waste at the edge of a cleared driveway or on a level cleared boulevard spot.
Cleared driveway edge
Place waste where the collector can safely reach it without climbing snowbanks or stepping into traffic.
Level cleared boulevard
A flat cleared spot on the boulevard can work when it keeps bags, bins and green bins visible and reachable.
Not on snowbanks, roads or sidewalks
Waste may be left behind if it is placed on top of snowbanks, on the road or on sidewalks.
Leaf and Yard Waste, Compost Site and Fall Curbside Leaf Collection
Brockville separates green bin organics from leaf and yard waste. Do not assume leaves, brush, grass and food waste all go to the same place.
Gord Watts Municipal Centre
The Leaf and Yard Compost Site is at Gord Watts Municipal Centre, 251 North Augusta Road. It accepts leaves, indoor and garden plants, small amounts of soil, brush, hedge trimmings and tree limbs.
No grass clippings or household organics
Grass clippings, sod, weeds and household organic waste are not accepted at the compost site. Use the green bin for accepted household organics.
Paper bags or loose leaves only
Leaves are accepted loose or in paper leaf bags only. Plastic bags are not permitted, and paper leaf bags must not be taped or stapled.
October 26-30 and November 23-27
The City lists 2026 curbside leaf collection on your regular collection day during the weeks of October 26 to October 30 and November 23 to November 27.
Before 7 a.m.
Leaves must be placed out before 7 a.m. on your regular collection day. They are collected by a separate vehicle and may be picked up before or after garbage and recycling.
The City lists Tuesday, Friday and Saturday hours with different seasonal time windows from May to November. Check the City page before you load brush or leaves because hours, fees and accepted quantities can change.
Hazardous Waste, Batteries, Paint, Propane and Sharps
Hazardous and special products do not belong in curbside garbage or recycling. Examples include batteries, paints, motor oil, antifreeze, herbicides, pesticides, propane tanks, light bulbs and prescription drugs.
Household Hazardous Waste Day
The City lists the 2026 Household Hazardous Waste Day for Saturday, August 22, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brockville Youth Arena. Check the City page before the event in case instructions change.
Use proper stewardship routes
For paint and other hazardous or special products outside the event, use the stewardship locator linked by the City or another approved drop-off option.
Use pharmacy and sharps programs
Needles should use a sharps program. Prescription medications should go through approved pharmacy return options, not garbage or recycling.
Do not hide hazardous materials in a tagged garbage bag. If the City lists an item as hazardous or special, it needs a special disposal route.
Brockville Transfer Station, Electronics and Drop-Off Map
For items not accepted at curbside, the City points residents to the Waste Management Transfer Station. Call ahead for accepted materials and fees before loading a vehicle.
1380 California Avenue
The Brockville Transfer Station is listed at 1380 California Avenue, Brockville, ON K6V 6K8. The City lists the scale house phone number as 613-342-1081 ext. 1.

Up to 160 kg flat rate
The City page lists waste up to 160 kg at a $50 flat rate, but says to call to confirm fees. Always verify before visiting.
Recycling, metals and e-waste
The City lists recycling and metals as free if separated and not in plastic bags, non-refrigeration appliances as free, refrigeration appliances as free when Freon has been removed with a service slip, and electronic waste as free.
Construction and renovation material
Drywall, lumber, windows, shingles, bricks, cabinets, toilets and other renovation materials are not regular curbside garbage. Use the transfer station or another proper disposal route.
Community Treasure Days and Reuse Options
Brockville’s Community Treasure Days are designed like a free curbside reuse event, not a garbage dumping day. Only put out unwanted items that are still useful.
June 13 and September 12
The City lists Brockville Community Treasure Days for 2026 on June 13 and September 12. Leave useful items at the curb by 9 a.m.
Clear items by 6 p.m.
Remove any uncollected treasure from the curb and stop collecting by 6 p.m. Do not remove items from anyone’s property; only take items placed at the curb.
The City reminds residents to drop donations off during open hours only. Leaving items outside donation locations after hours can create removal problems and may be considered illegal dumping.
