Garbage and Recycling

Halton waste collection

Halton Region provides curbside waste collection to help residents manage their household and special event waste. For more information, visit Halton Region's Recycling and Waste page.

Blue box program

Circular Materials Ontario manages the residential Blue Box program in Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. This change is part of Ontario’s recycling regulation that shifts the cost and management of recycling from municipalities to the businesses that sell or supply packaging and paper products.

Pick up or exchange a Blue Box or Green Cart

You can request a new, replacement, or additional Blue Boxes through Miller Waste:

• Call: 1-855-752-4020
• Email: area14@millerwaste.ca

Blue Boxes will no longer be available at the Halton Waste Management Site in Milton or the Robert C. Austin Operations Centre in Georgetown.

Halton Region will still distribute Green Carts and Kitchen Carts for organic materials, Wheeled Garbage Carts for residential properties and Wheeled Garbage Carts and Blue Wheeled Carts for designated commercial locations.

Garbage tag program

Residents must attach a tag to each bag in excess of the three-bag limit. Tags cost $2 each and all bags over the three bag/can limit must have a tag attached.

To order garbage tags, visit the Halton Region website.
