Malahide Garbage Schedule Helper: Pickup Day, Bag Tags, Blue Box Weeks and Yard Waste Tips
Use this Malahide garbage schedule guide like a local route-check tool. Start with the Township’s annual Waste Management Calendar, find your collection day on the route map, set tagged garbage bags and blue boxes out before 7 a.m., and use the right depot for tires, batteries, appliances, yard waste and special materials.
Quick Answer: How to Find the Malahide Garbage Pickup Day
To find the Malahide garbage pickup day, open the Township of Malahide Collection Calendar page and use the Annual Waste Management Calendar route map. Garbage bags and blue boxes are collected weekly on the same day each week. Your exact day depends on the route map, not only the village name or the nearest town.

Use the route map
The annual calendar includes a collection route map that determines the day of the week your garbage is collected. Use that map first, especially if your address is outside a settlement area.
Every bag needs a tag
Malahide garbage collection uses a bag tag system. Each bag must be tagged and must weigh no more than 20 kg / 44 lb.
Out before 7 a.m.
Have garbage bags and blue boxes at the curb before 7 a.m. Collection can occur between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
If you searched for “Malahide garbage schedule 2025,” use the current official Township calendar page before relying on an older saved PDF. The Township updates the annual calendar, route map, blue box week information and bag tag details.
What Malahide Residents Usually Need Today
Most people do not want a long policy page. They want the right next step before collection morning, before buying extra bag tags, or before loading waste for a depot trip.
I need my pickup day
Open the annual calendar, check the route map, and confirm the day for your property. Do not guess from a neighbour on a different road.
I need more tags
Each garbage bag needs a tag. Extra tags can be purchased at the Township Office and selected Malahide retailers.
Containers or paper?
Malahide uses a two-box recycling system that alternates between material types every other week. Check the calendar for which blue box material goes out.
It may need a depot
Tires, batteries, appliances, yard waste outside the collection area, electronics and bulky materials may need a community depot or private disposal route.
Official Malahide Collection Calendar, Route Map and Reminder Tool
The Township’s Collection Calendar page is the safest starting point because it links the annual calendar, route map, blue box material weeks and calendar copy request. It also provides the official missed collection contact.
Open the annual calendar
The annual Waste Management Calendar shows the route map and the blue box material that should be collected each week.
Open official calendar pageFind your route
Use the route map to identify the correct day. Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same day each week.
Check blue box material week
The two-box system alternates between Containers and Paper Products. Your collection day stays weekly, but the recyclable material stream changes by week.
Do not only remember “Thursday” or “Monday.” Also check which blue box stream is being collected that week and whether yard waste or special notices apply.
Malahide Garbage Bag Tags: Limit, Weight, Price and Where to Buy
Malahide uses a bag tag system. There is no weekly garbage bag limit listed on the Township page, but each bag must have a tag and each bag must weigh no more than 20 kg / 44 lb.
60 tags per year for eligible properties
Eligible properties receive an annual bag tag package. Property owners are responsible for distributing tags to tenants and transferring tags to new owners if the property is sold.
$1.50 each at official sellers
Additional garbage bag tags are available for purchase at the Township Office for $1.50 each. The Township notes that bag tags no longer expire.
20 kg / 44 lb maximum
Do not overload a tagged bag. A heavy bag can create safety issues and may not be collected even if it has a tag.
Springfield Food Mart
51195 Ron McNeil Line, Springfield.
Avon Feedmill
15538 Putnam Road, Springfield.
Wood Convenience
5048 Imperial Road, Aylmer.
Before putting garbage out, check three things: every bag has a tag, every bag is under 20 kg / 44 lb, and anything recyclable or hazardous has been removed from the garbage stream.
Malahide Recycling Collection: Blue Boxes, Containers and Paper Products
Blue boxes and garbage bags are collected weekly on the same day each week. There is no weekly blue box limit listed by the Township, but blue box recyclables must be separated into two categories: Containers and Paper Products.
Containers and Paper Products alternate
The two-box system alternates material types every other week. Use the annual calendar to confirm whether it is a containers week or paper products week.
Blue Box responsibility changed
Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario’s Blue Box system moves to Extended Producer Responsibility. For most Malahide residents, the Township says collection days and accepted materials remain the same.
Miller handles recycling requests
Recycling customer service requests are handled by Miller Waste Systems. The Township lists 1-888-852-2376 and area24@millerwaste.ca for recycling customer service starting in 2026.
After December 31, 2025, certain properties such as businesses, commercial properties, daycares, places of worship, charities, municipal buildings and campgrounds no longer receive curbside recycling collection under the new framework. Those properties should use private recycling collection or the Community Recycling Centre option described by the Township.
Malahide Set-Out Rules: What to Do Before 7 a.m.
A correct pickup day still fails if the bag is late, untagged, too heavy, mixed with special waste, or set out after the truck has passed.
Pickup-ready setup
- Check the annual route map for your exact collection day.
- Set garbage bags and blue boxes at the curb before 7 a.m.
- Put a valid garbage bag tag on every garbage bag.
- Keep every garbage bag under 20 kg / 44 lb.
- Separate blue box material into Containers and Paper Products as required.
- Check the calendar to know which blue box material is collected that week.
- Keep hazardous, electronic, tire, appliance and depot-only items out of regular garbage.
Common missed-pickup triggers
- Using an old saved calendar without checking the current Township page.
- Putting bags out after 7 a.m.
- Forgetting a bag tag.
- Making bags heavier than 20 kg / 44 lb.
- Mixing the wrong blue box material stream for the week.
- Putting batteries, tires, appliances or hazardous material in garbage.
- Assuming yard waste pickup is available outside the designated areas.
Malahide states collection can occur between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Leave properly set out material until the collection window has passed unless the Township or Miller Waste posts a different instruction.
