Guelph has partnered with WM to provide residential waste service that sets the standard for sustainable trash disposal and recycling.
If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a day. For a Thursday holiday, service would be on Friday, and Friday service would be Saturday. For holidays on Saturday or Sunday, there are no delays.
Important Announcement
Your everyday choices matter, and we’ve made it easier for you to make a difference. Recycling at home now includes plastic and paper to-go cups. Recycle these materials and show that small steps lead to big change. See how else you can help your community thrive.

Container Setout Instructions
Place container on the street with wheels against the curb by 6 a.m. on collection days and remove same day. Keep container at least three (3) feet from parked cars, mailboxes, and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up.
How to Prepare Your Materials
All trash should be bagged. Do not overfill your container – the lid must close tightly. Overflow and materials outside may be subject to additional charge or will not be collected.
What Belongs in Your Container
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, plastic bags, and textiles (donate if lightly used).
Non-acceptable items include construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste.
