North Grenville Garbage Schedule Helper: Pickup Day, 2026 Calendar, Week 1 / Week 2, Bag Tags and Oxford Mills Transfer Station
This North Grenville garbage guide is built for the real resident question: what day is my zone, am I Garbage Week 1 or Week 2, which recycling stream goes out, do I need a bag tag, why did the green bin not empty, and when should I use the Oxford Mills Transfer Station instead of curbside pickup?
Quick Answer: How to Check the North Grenville Garbage Schedule
North Grenville curbside pickup is divided into 5 zones, with collection occurring Monday through Friday. Each zone is then split into Garbage Week 1 and Garbage Week 2 because garbage is collected every other week. Green bin organics are collected weekly, and recycling is collected weekly on alternating streams: paper/fibre one week and plastics/containers the next.

Set material out correctly
Place waste close to the road after 7 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. Garbage bags need valid tags.

North Grenville Bag Tags, Garbage Limits and Set-Out Rules
North Grenville uses a “pay as you throw” garbage tag system. Recycling and green bin material do not need bag tags, but solid waste placed out for curbside garbage collection does.
$2.75 each, sold in packets of 8
Attach a bag tag to each solid waste bag placed out for collection. If using a solid waste container, attach the tag to the first bag under the lid.
Maximum 10 bags
North Grenville lists a maximum 10-bag limit for curbside solid waste collection. Every bag needs a valid tag.
Old pink tags no longer work
The Municipality says old pink bag tags can no longer be used and should be brought to Municipal Offices during office hours for exchange.
127 L and 22 kg / 50 lb limit
The Municipality lists a maximum size of 127 litres and maximum weight of 22 kg / 50 lb for solid waste containers or bags.
After 7 p.m., before 7 a.m.
Place garbage close to the edge of the road, no more than 10 feet from the road edge, after 7 p.m. the night before and before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Use the green bin and recycling every week. North Grenville’s own guidance is clear: the more you divert organics and recyclables, the fewer garbage tags you need.
North Grenville Green Bin Collection: Weekly, 52 Weeks a Year
Your green bin is collected every week, 52 weeks a year, and no bag tag is required. The Municipality says more than 50% of North Grenville garbage by weight was compostable organic material before the organics program was introduced.
🟢 Green bin
Use for accepted food scraps and household organics such as meat, fish, shellfish, poultry, bones, eggshells, fruit, vegetables, dairy, bread, pasta, rice, coffee grounds, filters and tea bags.
⚫ Keep out
Do not put diapers, menstrual products, used face masks, solid waste, recyclable materials, clothing, textiles or leaf and yard waste into the green bin.
🐾 Animal and winter tips
Green bins have an extra animal lock. In winter, the Municipality suggests cooking oil spray to help reduce freezing and latch problems.
Green bin and kitchen bin purchase
The Municipality lists green bins at $22.90 plus tax and kitchen bins at $3.00 plus tax. They may be purchased at Municipal Offices or at the Waste Transfer Station.
Common reasons
A green bin may be missed because of a holiday shift, late set-out, over 40 lb weight, too much animal waste, or wrong material in the bin.
Official Video Help: North Grenville Green Bin Lock and Latch
The Municipality links to an official green bin latch video from its organic collection page. This is useful if your green bin animal lock is confusing, stiff in winter, or not closing properly.
Watch the video for the lock and latch, then use the official calendar for your exact pickup week. A locked green bin helps reduce animals and repeated missed-pickup problems.
North Grenville Recycling: Paper/Fibre Week and Plastics/Containers Week
Recycling is collected weekly, but the stream alternates. Week 1 is paper/fibre. Week 2 is plastics/containers. North Grenville recycling is managed through Circular Materials, and Emterra is contracted to collect in North Grenville.
Paper and fibre
Use your blue box for accepted paper and fibre materials on the correct week. Flatten and bundle cardboard so it does not become litter or trigger a missed collection issue.
Plastics and containers
Plastics and containers are collected on the alternating week. Clear blue plastic bags are acceptable for plastics and containers, according to the Municipality’s recycling page.
No recycling at Oxford Mills starting Jan. 1, 2026
The Municipality says recyclable materials are no longer accepted at the Oxford Mills Transfer Station starting January 1, 2026. These materials must use the curbside Blue Box program.

Curbside Bulky Item Collection in North Grenville
North Grenville’s waste program includes curbside collection of bulky items up to four times per year. Bulky item tags are $12.50, and some bulky items may require multiple tags. Use the 2026 calendar and official bulky item page before placing large items out.
$12.50 bulky item tag
Bulky item tags are separate from regular garbage tags. Some larger items may require more than one bulky tag.
Check the calendar
Bulky collection is seasonal and not the same as regular weekly green bin or bi-weekly garbage collection. Confirm the current year’s dates before set-out.
Use the transfer station when needed
Construction debris, commercial loads, hazardous items and material not accepted for curbside bulky collection may need the Oxford Mills Transfer Station or another official disposal route.
Do not place bulky items at the curb weeks early. Check the current calendar, tag requirement and acceptable item list first. Wrong timing can create by-law, safety and cleanup problems.

Set bins and bags on the cleared portion of your driveway where the collector can safely access them.
