Waste collection includes picking up residential garbage, organics and yard waste and providing services for multi-residential buildings. The community recycling centres<\/a> will still be run by the Region of Peel. Recycling collection will continue to be handled by Circular Materials<\/a>, which began on January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n Current waste collection service in Mississauga<\/p>\n The Region of Peel currently provides waste collection service in Mississauga. These service levels include:<\/p>\n A four-day-a-week residential waste collection schedule (Monday to Thursday). Future waste collection service in Mississauga<\/p>\n Starting October 1, 2027, the City will provide the following service levels through its new waste collection contracts:<\/p>\n A five-day-a-week residential waste collection schedule (Monday to Friday). Residential waste collection<\/p>\n Switching to a five\u2011day residential waste collection schedule will create efficiencies by reducing the number of trucks and labour needed to complete the routes. Shorter, more balanced routes will also help prevent late pickups for residents.<\/p>\n Residential yard waste collection<\/p>\n Switching to bi\u2011weekly yard waste collection for the entire season will create efficiencies by reducing the number of trucks needed, which also reduces the impact on the environment. It also makes the schedule easier to follow, since it will no longer switch between weekly and bi-weekly service throughout the year.<\/p>\n Recycling collection for ineligible Mississauga locations<\/p>\n Approximately 1,000 locations in Mississauga are ineligible for recycling collection from Circular Materials, including City buildings, emergency services buildings, community centres and arenas, places of worship and some small businesses. Starting October 1, 2027, the City will collect recycling at these locations. These locations won\u2019t need to arrange and pay for private recycling collection.<\/p>\n With the City\u2019s new waste collection contracts, some Mississauga residents may get a new collection day for their garbage and organics. The City will inform residents of their collection day in advance of October 1, 2027.<\/p>\n Quotes<\/p>\n \u201cMississauga is committed to delivering efficient, reliable waste collection services. These new contracts uphold that commitment. They also mark an important milestone as the City prepares to assume responsibility for waste collection services from the Region of Peel in a smooth transition. These new contracts will ensure waste collection in our growing city remains an affordable, consistent service that puts residents first.\u201d \u2013 Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish<\/p>\n \u201cBy bringing waste collection services under the City\u2019s oversight, we are creating a more streamlined and sustainable model for Mississauga. The service levels approved by City Council ensure we can deliver efficient and high-quality collection and support better environmental outcomes. Our teams will continue working closely with the Region of Peel and Circular Materials to ensure a smooth transition for October 1, 2027.\u201d \u2013 Geoff Wright, City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer<\/p>\n
