Beginning January 2026, large-item collection in the Town of Georgina will become a scheduled service, similar to appliances and other large metal items. With the Town no longer collecting recycling due to the province’s transition of the recycling program to producers, there will be adjustments to how other waste streams (garbage, organic, and large items) are collected. Large-item collection will now be handled by a dedicated collection vehicle which will require scheduling.
How it works
- Residents must call Green For Life (GFL) at 1-866-421-5625 to schedule a pick-up.
- A maximum of five items will be collected per pick-up.
- Each item requires a large-item tag.
- Residents’ large items will be picked up on their regular garbage collection day.
- Items must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day.
Start date and scheduling
- Residents can start calling GFL during the week of Dec. 29, 2025, to book their pick-ups for the following week.
- Scheduled large-item collection will officially begin the week of Jan. 12, 2026.
- Residents may call GFL in advance to schedule a large item pick-up. However, to have items collected on your regular garbage day, requests must be received no later than 11 a.m. on Monday of your garbage week. Requests received after this time cannot be guaranteed for collection that week and will otherwise be scheduled for your next regular garbage collection day.
- Not sure when your regular garbage collection week is? Check the waste calendar or use the Recycle Coach app.
Appliances and large metal items
Appliances and other large metal items will continue to be collected by calling GFL at 1-866-421-5625 to schedule a pick-up.
