Brampton (Jan 16) – Peel Region’s winter garbage exemption will run in the last week of January and first week of February. Residents should check their collection schedule to find their garbage exemption day.
During a garbage exemption pickup, one can put any amount of acceptable garbage on the curb. Garbage tags are not needed.
Peel is reminding residents that extra garbage is collected only on garbage collection day, not on recycling collection day.
There are also some guidelines for garbage collection during the exemption period.
To be picked up, an extra garbage bag cannot weigh more than 20 kg (44 lbs); be larger than 66 cm (26 in) wide and 90 cm (35 in) high; or smaller than 30 cm (12 in) wide and 30 cm (12 in)
Residents can sign up to receive free weekly collection reminders by email, text message, or phone call.
