Garbage, recycling and organics
As of the updated route system, residents have one weekly curbside collection day for garbage, recycling and organics.
Out by 7 a.m.
Garbage, recycling and green bin organics must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. Keep items off the road and sidewalk.

What Belleville Residents Usually Need Today
Most visitors are not here for general waste education. They need one fast decision: address map, bag tag, green bin, recycling contact, bulky item booking or depot drop-off.
I need my collection day
Open the Curbside Waste Collection Map and search your address. That is the official pickup-day answer.
I am putting bins out tonight
Collection material must be ready by 7 a.m. Keep carts and bags beside the end of your driveway, not on the road or sidewalk.
My collection was missed
Garbage and organics issues go to the City Operations Centre. Recycling issues go to E360 Solutions.
I have furniture or appliances
Furniture, appliances and other bulky items are not accepted with regular weekly garbage. Schedule user-pay bulky pickup first.

Belleville Weekly Collection Cycle: Garbage, Green Bin and Recycling
Belleville’s current residential curbside setup is easier than an alternating calendar: garbage, recycling and organics are collected on the same day each week. The real difference is who to contact and how each stream must be prepared.
⚫ Garbage
Each bag of garbage requires a Belleville garbage tag. Garbage bags must be tightly sealed and not weigh more than 50 lb.
Garbage cans must be reusable, have carrying handles and a secure water-tight lid, and a visible tag must be attached to the top item inside the can.
🟢 Green bin organics
Organics must be placed in the City-issued green bin. The lid must be fully closed and latched, and the bin must be kept clear of the road and sidewalk.
Do not use plastic bags unless the bag is certified compostable. Bins containing unacceptable material may not be collected.
🔵 Recycling
Recycling collection is managed by Circular Materials and contracted through E360 Solutions. Recycling must be properly sorted by material.
Improperly sorted blue bins may not be collected, so use official recycling guidance when unsure.
Belleville Set-Out Rules: What to Do Before 7 a.m.
Good set-out prevents missed collection, winter obstruction issues, sidewalk problems and sorting refusals. The City says items must be placed by 7 a.m. and kept off the road and sidewalk.
Collection morning checklist
- Search your address using the official collection map.
- Place garbage, recycling and organics out by 7 a.m.
- Attach a visible tag to every garbage bag.
- Keep the green bin lid fully closed and latched.
- Place items beside the end of your driveway, on your property.
- Keep material off the road, sidewalk, snow route and traffic area.
Missed-pickup triggers
- Putting items out after 7 a.m.
- Forgetting garbage bag tags.
- Putting construction or demolition waste in curbside garbage.
- Leaving green bin material in non-accepted plastic bags.
- Putting improperly sorted recycling in blue bins.
- Placing items on the road or sidewalk where they block people, cars, plows or sweepers.
If your garbage is untagged, your green bin is contaminated, or your recycling is improperly sorted, the issue is not only “missed pickup.” Fix the setup first or the next collection can fail again.
Belleville Garbage Bag Tags: Cost, Placement and Common Mistakes
Every garbage bag placed out for collection requires a garbage tag. Belleville lists bag tags at $3.50 each, available online or at locations throughout the city.
$3.50 per tag
The City lists bag tags at $3.50 each. If ordering online, the City states a minimum purchase of 10 tags is required and tags are mailed to the address provided.
Visible and secure
Wrap the tag around the top of the garbage bag and stick it back onto itself. The serial number should be visible.
Tag the top item
When using a garbage can, the City recommends placing all garbage inside one bag with a maximum weight of 50 lb and attaching the tag to the top item inside the can.
Garbage tag pricing can change. Use the official bag tags page before buying, especially if you are purchasing a larger quantity.
