Grimsby Garbage Collection: Today’s Schedule, Holidays, Limits and Pickup Help
Use Niagara Region’s address lookup to confirm your exact Grimsby garbage collection day. Grimsby follows the orange Area B garbage weeks, while Green Bin, eligible yard waste and residential recycling normally continue weekly. This page also answers Canada Day, Christmas, phone-number, missed-pickup, bag-tag, large-item, recycling, depot and property-type questions.
Quick Answer: How Grimsby Garbage Collection Works
Grimsby is an Area B municipality in Niagara Region. Garbage is collected every other week during the orange Area B weeks. Green Bins and eligible leaf and yard waste are collected weekly. Eligible residential Blue and Grey Box recycling is also normally weekly, but recycling questions now go to Miller Waste and Circular Materials.
Every other week
Confirm that the date falls inside an orange Area B week, then use the exact address to find the weekday.
Every week
Eligible organics and yard waste may be set out weekly on the regular collection day.
Normally every week
Residential recycling remains weekly for eligible sources, but service ownership changed in 2026.
Search results for “Grimsby bin collection” often show North East Lincolnshire council pages. Ontario residents must use Niagara Region and Circular Materials information.

Niagara Region remains responsible
Garbage, Green Bin, yard waste, large items, tags, exemptions and regional disposal remain separate from recycling ownership.
Private recycling may be required
Businesses, places of worship and other non-eligible institutions may need to arrange private recycling collection.
