Waste & Recycling

Find My Bin Day

Have you gone FOGO? A downloadable map and calendar will help you find out when your FOGO, Recycling, and General waste collections are due.

Order an extra recycling bin, a larger recycling bin or a green waste bin here. Find out who to contact to discuss your general waste service or to report a missed bin service, or damaged or missing bins.
