Confirm your collection day ahead of carts launch
Waterloo Region – The Region of Waterloo is launching new tools to help residents confirm their collection day ahead of rolling out the carts-based collection on March 3.
To find your collection day, you can visit regionofwaterloo.ca/carts and enter your address into the map. The results will show your collection day and what week you have each service.
The Region is also distributing a new waste collection calendar, that has more details on how to find your collection day, how to sort your materials, and where to go for more information. Residents can also call the Region’s Service First Contact Centre at 519-575-4400 if they need assistance.
The Region will be changing to cart-based collection for garbage and organics, with additional services for bulky items and yard waste at the following frequency:
- Garbage collection (black carts) will remain every other week
- Organics collection (green carts) will remain weekly
- Bulky item collection will move to once a month
- Yard waste collection will remain every other week, Spring to Fall
Residential recycling, managed by Circular Materials, will move to every other week opposite of garbage. All households will receive garbage (black cart) collection on the first week, March 3-6.
The carts will be collected by a mechanical truck arm. Place the carts 2 feet apart with the arrows facing the street and the handles facing your home. Ensure the lids are fully closed.
For more information on how to use the carts, what goes in them, and to confirm your collection day please visit regionofwaterloo.ca/carts.
