With all the backyard barbecues, celebrations and stay-cations you may have enjoyed this summer, you may have collected more garbage than usual. Good news: the City of Vaughan's Double-Up Days are back the weeks of Sept. 17 or Sept. 24, depending on your regularly scheduled collection day. You can place up to six garbage items curbside for pickup - and paid garbage tags are not required.
Before Double-Up Days arrive, make sure you know these important collection reminders:
Divert garbage by using your blue box and green bin!
Before setting your garbage bags out for Double-Up Days, make sure there are no items bagged that belong in the blue boxor green bin. If you don't know where to dispose of an item, use the online 'What Goes Where?' sorting tool to easily check using the search function. You can also download the free Recycle Coach app from the Apple App Storeor Google Playfor more sorting help. The app also provides waste-less tips and a personalized collection schedule with optional alerts on what to put to the curb each week.
