Wasaga Beach Garbage Tags: Extra Bags, Limits and Where to Buy
If garbage cannot fit into your garbage cart with the lid closed, it must be bagged separately and have a garbage tag attached. Wasaga Beach notes that extra tagged bags should be placed two feet apart from carts or other objects.
Maximum 5 tagged bags
Up to five tagged bags are permitted bi-weekly per property in addition to the garbage cart.
Maximum 20 kg per bag
Each tagged garbage bag must be within the 20 kg limit. Heavy debris may require a waste drop-off facility instead.
Town Hall and Public Works
Wasaga Beach lists garbage tag purchase locations at Town Hall, 30 Lewis Street, and Public Works, 150 Westbury Road.
A garbage tag does not make hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, paint, renovation debris, tires, hot ashes or oversized material acceptable in regular curbside garbage.
Green Bin Organics in Wasaga Beach: Weekly Collection and Cart Lock Tips
Organics are collected weekly on your regular collection day. Simcoe County accepts food waste and many food-soiled paper products in the organics cart, but plastics and diapers do not belong there.
Food scraps and paper
Accepted organics include food waste, tea bags, coffee grounds and filters, eggshells, grease and fat, meat, fish and bones, greasy pizza boxes, paper towels, tissues, paper plates and similar paper food-contact items.
Bag correctly where required
Pet waste, kitty litter, animal bedding and newspaper from bird cages must be placed in a compostable bag if included in the organics stream.
No plastics or garbage
Do not include plastics, diapers, yard waste, vacuum bags, cigarette butts, feminine hygiene products, garbage or recyclables in the organics cart.
The organics cart has a built-in lock. If animals are a problem, place it in the locked position; the latch opens automatically during collection. Empty kitchen bins often and rinse regularly to prevent odours.

Wasaga Beach Garbage Dump Search: Simcoe County Waste Drop-Offs
If you search “Wasaga Beach garbage dump,” you likely need a Simcoe County waste drop-off facility rather than curbside pickup. The County lists waste drop-off locations and materials.

Collingwood Waste Drop-off

HHW and electronics need care
Batteries, paint, chemicals, electronics, drywall, mattresses, brush and construction waste may have separate rules, fees or facility limits.

House, Cottage, Apartment, Condo or Business: Which Wasaga Beach Rule Applies?
Collection rules can change by property type. Do not assume a seasonal rental, condo, apartment or business uses the same curbside service as a single-family home.
Use County curbside schedule
Use the Simcoe County calendar for your regular garbage, recycling and organics route.
Ask property management
Multi-residential buildings may have shared carts, private waste rooms, condo rules or special organics eligibility.
Check access and cart ownership
Seasonal use can create overflow after weekends or holidays. Make sure carts stay with the property and are not exchanged with neighbours.
Commercial waste is different
Businesses should confirm commercial collection, cardboard, organics and private hauler requirements instead of relying on residential curbside rules.
Need carts?
Contact Service Simcoe for missing, damaged, newly needed or address-assigned carts.
Ask the owner first
Renters may need the landlord or property owner to request cart changes or address-specific service help.
