Belleville Garbage Collection: Today’s Schedule, 2026 Holidays, Bag Tags and Missed Pickup Help
Search your address for the current collection day, then use this guide to check whether a holiday changes pickup. Belleville collects residential garbage, recycling and Green Bin organics on the same weekday each week, with everything at the curb by 7 a.m. The sections below explain Victoria Day, Canada Day, garbage tags, container limits, recycling contacts, bulky-item fees, yard-waste zones and depot rules.
Quick Answer: Belleville Garbage Collection Schedule
Residential garbage, recycling and organic waste are collected on the same weekday each week. Search your address on Belleville’s official Curbside Waste Collection Map, then place all eligible material beside the end of your driveway by 7 a.m.
Search the property address
Collection routes changed during the 2025 Blue Bin transition. Use the current address map instead of an old calendar, a neighbour’s routine or a previous tenant’s note.
Check for a holiday notice
Belleville does not use one universal holiday-delay formula. Victoria Day 2026 had no curbside change; Canada Day moved Tuesday and Wednesday routes earlier.
Prepare each stream correctly
Tag every garbage bag, latch the City Green Bin, sort both recycling boxes correctly and keep all items off the road and sidewalk.
Save three details on your phone: your official weekday, Operations at 613-967-3275 for garbage or organics, and E360 at 1-866-358-3560 for recycling.

If the date is your normal route day
- Place material at the curb by 7 a.m.
- Use one visible tag for every garbage bag.
- Put organics in the latched City-issued Green Bin.
- Sort recycling before set-out.
- Keep everything off the road and sidewalk.
If today or tomorrow is near a holiday
Check the City notice and address map. Do not assume collection moves one day later: Belleville sometimes advances affected routes before the holiday.
Belleville Garbage Collection Holidays 2026
The safest holiday answer is the City’s current notice plus your address schedule. The table distinguishes confirmed 2026 curbside changes from dates that should not be predicted before Belleville publishes a notice.
| Holiday | 2026 date | Confirmed curbside rule | Depot or resident action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday, April 3 | The published local service schedule moved Tuesday through Friday collections one day earlier, with no collection Friday. | The following week returned to the normal schedule. Check the City archive before relying on this pattern in another year. |
| Victoria Day | Monday, May 18 | No change to curbside garbage, Green Bin, recycling or booked bulky-item collection. | Leaf and Yard Waste Depot closed. Hazardous/Electronic Waste Depot and Thurlow public hours had no announced change. |
| Canada Day | Wednesday, July 1 | Tuesday, June 30 moved to Monday, June 29. Wednesday, July 1 moved to Tuesday, June 30. No collection July 1. Thursday and Friday remained unchanged. | Leaf and Yard Waste Depot, Thurlow Landfill and Hazardous/Electronic Waste Depot closed July 1. |
| Civic Holiday | Monday, August 3 | Do not assume a shift until the City posts its current service notice. | The Leaf and Yard Waste Depot’s standing schedule lists a Civic Holiday closure. |
| Labour Day | Monday, September 7 | Check the current City notice and address calendar before set-out. | Leaf and Yard Waste Depot is normally closed for Labour Day. |
| Truth and Reconciliation Day | Wednesday, September 30 | Verify curbside service with the current City notice. | Leaf and Yard Waste Depot lists a closure unless otherwise announced. |
| Thanksgiving | Monday, October 12 | Do not use the Canada Day or Victoria Day rule as a prediction. | Leaf and Yard Waste Depot is normally closed for Thanksgiving. |
| Christmas period | Friday, December 25 onward | Wait for Belleville’s December service notice and address-based schedule. | Confirm curbside, bulky-item and depot hours separately. |
Belleville garbage collection on Victoria Day
Curbside garbage, Green Bin organics, recycling and scheduled bulky items continued without a collection change on Monday, May 18. The Leaf and Yard Waste Depot was closed, so curbside service and depot access did not follow the same rule.
Belleville garbage collection on July 1st and Canada Day
There was no collection Wednesday, July 1. Tuesday routes moved to Monday, and Wednesday routes moved to Tuesday. Thursday and Friday did not move. This earlier-pickup arrangement is why residents should never rely on a generic “one day later” holiday rule.
Find Your Current Belleville Collection Day
All eligible residential curbside streams now use one weekly weekday, but the weekday differs by address. Route realignment in July 2025 means an older printed calendar may be wrong.
Use the official address map
Enter the main property address to see the current collection day for garbage, recycling and organics.
Tuesday and Friday collection
Commercial collection in Belleville’s downtown core operates Tuesday and Friday. Do not copy the residential address routine.
Ask property management first
Shared dumpsters, private hauling contracts and building collection rooms may follow instructions that differ from house curbside service.
Search the exact property—especially near the Moira River, CNR tracks, Highway 37, Cannifton, Thurlow and route boundaries.
Belleville Set-Out Rules Before 7 a.m.
Correct timing is only one requirement. Tags, weight, container size, Green Bin latching, sorting and curb placement can decide whether material is collected.
Collection-morning checklist
- Confirm the current weekday for your address.
- Have all material ready no later than 7 a.m.
- Keep bags and containers beside your driveway.
- Keep material off the travelled road and sidewalk.
- Use a visible tag on every garbage lift.
- Latch the City-issued Green Bin fully closed.

Common rejection triggers
- Missing or hidden garbage tag.
- Garbage bag over 50 lb.
- Container over 77 L or 75 lb including contents.
- Construction wood, drywall, sawdust or demolition waste.
- Plastic bags in the Green Bin unless certified compostable.
- Contaminated or incorrectly sorted recycling.

Belleville waste by-law timing and lift limits
Belleville Garbage Bag Tags: 2026 Price, Placement and Purchase
Every garbage bag, carton or garbage lift requires a Belleville tag. Effective March 18, 2026, tags cost $3.50 each. Previously purchased valid tags can still be used.
Wrap the tag around the top
Secure it around the tied neck of the bag and stick the tag back onto itself. Keep the serial number visible to the collector.
Tag the top item inside
Place the tag on the top bag or item so it becomes visible as soon as the collector removes the watertight lid.
Minimum order of 10
Online orders require a major credit card and a minimum purchase of ten tags. The City mails them to the supplied address.
The City recommends placing garbage in one bag inside the can when practical. Each bag or lift still needs the required visible tag.
Prepare Garbage, Green Bin Organics and Recycling
All three streams share the same weekly collection day, but different organizations and preparation rules apply.
Tag, seal and control the weight
- Use a visible $3.50 tag on every lift.
- Keep each bag or cardboard carton under 50 lb.
- Drain liquids before disposal.
- Securely wrap household and kitchen waste.
- Keep construction and demolition material out.
Use the City-issued latched bin
- Set out the Green Bin every week by 7 a.m.
- Fully close and latch the lid.
- Accept food scraps, bones and food-soiled paper.
- Use only certified-compostable bags when lining.
- Keep pet waste, diapers and yard waste out.
Use Circular Materials sorting rules
- Place properly sorted recycling out by 7 a.m.
- Recycling is managed by Circular Materials.
- E360 provides curbside recycling collection.
- Improperly sorted blue boxes can be left behind.
- Use E360—not City Operations—for recycling issues.
Ontario’s producer-responsibility transition moved recycling management away from the City. Belleville still handles garbage and Green Bin questions, while E360 handles curbside recycling service issues.
