Over 650,000 kgs. of electronics and electrical items end up in the County's residential garbage stream each year. Help us keep electronic waste out of the landfill. Save your obsolete electronics for collection this June or take to a waste facility year-round.
Watch for bags in your mail. Place sealed bags out at the curb on your regular collection day at 7 a.m. of your electronics collection week. Click here to determine your week.
Extra material must be in clear plastic bags and larger items can be placed at curbside. The County reserves the right to refuse collection if improperly set-out or over-weight items. This program does not apply to residents of Barrie or Orillia.
