Two houses in High Park-Swansea put their bins out on the same weekday, but garbage and recycling take turns — one Wednesday it's garbage, the next it's recycling. That two-week rhythm is exactly what's easy to lose track of, especially after a long weekend nudges everything.

What Time to Put Bins Out

Have your bins at the curb by 7:00 AM on your Wednesday 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.)
