Halton Region's garbage limit has changed How to get Garbage Tags Garbage tags are available to order online or for pick up. Order Online Garbage tags can be ordered online at www.halton.ca/garbagetags. They will be mailed to you. Pick Up Garbage tags can be picked up at select retail locations and municipal buildings during their regular operating hours. By recycling and composting more you will have less garbage. Therefore, Halton has decreased the garbage limit and introduced "garbage tags" for garbage above the new limit. Garbage Tag Program 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).
