Garbage

Bag Tag Program - garbage must be set out in a bag, bundle or rigid container (garbage can). All garbage set out for collection must be tagged.

Tag Standards:
1 bag tag needed for: Each bag, maximum size of 76 x 96 cm (30 x 36") with a maximum weight of 20 kg (44 lbs)
2 bag tags needed for: Each bag larger than 76 x 96 cm (30 x 36") with a maximum weight of 20 kg (44lbs)Each rigid container between 129-240 litres in size and a maximum weight of 20 kg (44 lbs)
3 bag tags needed for: Each rigid container (Herbie Curbie) larger than 240 litres. Maximum weight 45 kg (100 lbs)

IMPORTANT:

Tags must be stuck onto the top half of the garbage bag or be on top of the bundle (so it can be seen by the collector).

The tag can be applied either flat on the bag or around the neck of the bag folded over the ends stuck together. Do not use the tag as a tie for the garbage bag - if it breaks or rips, it will not be accepted.

Both ends of the bag tag must be visible to be accepted. Do not wrap the tag onto itself so that part of it is concealed.

If using a reusable rigid container, the tag(s) must be securely stuck on top of the loose material inside the container.
