How Collection Works in Dufferin Grove

  🟢 green bin ...... every week
  🗑️  garbage ....... every other week
  ♻️  recycling ..... every other week (alternates with garbage)
  🌿 yard waste ..... every other week, mid-March to mid-December

Whichever cycle you're on, garbage and recycling take turns — one collection day it's garbage, the next it's recycling — while the green bin goes out every week. That two-week rhythm, plus more than one cycle in the same neighbourhood, is exactly what's easy to lose track of.

What Time to Put Bins Out

Have your bins at the curb by 7:00 AM on your collection day, and set them out no earlier than 8:00 PM the night before. Place them at the curb, not blocking the sidewalk. (Source: toronto.ca set-out tips.)
