Please put your Blue Boxes and garbage at the curb securely: · On windy days, put your waste at the curb by 7 a.m. the morning of your collection day, not the night before. · Put your address on your Blue Box, garbage can and garbage lid. · Stack your Blue Boxes and place heavier items such as phone books and magazines on top of loose papers. Bundle and tie papers. Fill boxboard boxes with other boxboard material. · Flatten and tie large cardboard boxes and place securely underneath or between your Blue Boxes. · Put garbage bags at the curb instead of garbage cans; garbage cans are more likely to blow around. · · If you need additional Blue Boxes, new residents can get two free of charge, current residents can get one free of charge from the following locations: - Halton Waste Management Site (Scalehouse), 5400 Regional Road 25, Milton - Halton Regional Centre, 1151 Bronte Road, Oakville - Halton Hills Public Works Yard, 11620 Trafalgar Road, Georgetown Contact us for more information on these events and how to register.
