Therefore, starting April 1, 2013, Halton will decrease the garbage limit and introduce "garbage tags" for garbage above the new limit. Starting April 1, 2013, you may place three garbage bags/cans or less at the curb every other week. More than three garbage bags/cans will require a "garbage tag," up to a total of six garbage bags/cans maximum (three untagged, three tagged). The maximum weight per garbage bag/can is 23 kg (50 lbs).

Garbage tags can also be ordered online at www.halton.ca/garbagetags. Complimentary garbage tags can be used from April 1 to September 7, 2013. All complimentary tags expire September 7, 2013. Starting September 9, 2013, garbage tags will cost $2 per tag and can only be purchased in retail locations and municipal buildings, and can be ordered online at www.halton.ca/ garbagetags.
