Garbage & Recycling

The City of Belleville operates a User-Pay Garbage system. Citizens must purchase a $2.50 garbage tag and affix it to each garbage item set to the curb for weekly collection as per -  By-Law No. 98-175 [as amended]

Collection Schedules

Tuesday - West of Moira
Friday - East of Moira
Thursday - Thurlow
Tuesday & Friday - Downtown

**Items to be set to curb by 7:00 am on collection days**

Special Notices

Special Notices will be posted to this site, if a Statutory Holiday modifies the regular garbage collection schedule.

Rules & Guidelines

  • Disposable bags should be tightly sealed and not weigh more than 50 pounds.


  • Garbage cans or containers should be reusable galvanized metal or plastic, not more than 17 gallons (77 litres) or 75 pounds in weight, with carrying handles and a secure, water tight lid.


  • The top item inside the container must display a current bag tag visible to the collector when he removes the lid.


  • White goods cannot be included in regular garbage pickup. Arrangements for pickup must be made at City Hall.


  • The bag tag should be looped around the neck of the bag and have it meet at the end producing a little "flag".


  • City of Belleville should be displayed on one side and the bag tag number on the other side. Please do not twist the tag around the garbage bag as it appears that the tag has been split in half and the waste collector may refuse collection.


  • Cardboard boxes should be closed and sealed, not more than 24"x24"x42" in size and not weigh more than 50 pounds. Ensure the bag tag is visible to the collector on the outside of the box.
