Toronto Garbage Pickup Schedule

enter your toronto postal code to see your upcoming collection schedule.

How It Works

Toronto splits the city into collection zones. Each zone has a specific pickup day (Monday through Friday) and one of two bi-weekly calendars.

Collected every week:

  🟢 Green Bin (organics)

Collected every other week:

  🗑️  Garbage
  ♻️  Recycling (blue bin)

Seasonal collections:

  🌿 Yard Waste ........... March – December
  🎄 Christmas Trees ...... January

Collection Zones

Toronto has 10 collection zones — 5 days × 2 calendars each.

  Monday1    Monday2
  Tuesday1   Tuesday2
  Wednesday1 Wednesday2
  Thursday1  Thursday2
  Friday1    Friday2

Your postal code determines which zone you're in. The two calendars for each day alternate garbage weeks — when calendar 1 has garbage, calendar 2 doesn't, and vice versa.
