Beginning on June 1st, 2020 bag tags will once again be required on all waste bags put out for curbside pickup.

On March 30, 2020 the Municipality of Meaford announced that residents who were not able to get bag tags due to self-isolation related to COVID-19 would be able to put out one untagged bag per week.

At their meeting on Monday, May 25 Council decided it was time to reinstate regular use of bag tags as the Municipality moves towards recovery.

We ask everyone to keep following our guidelines for garbage pickup. Residents can put out a maximum of 3 tagged bags weighing under 40lbs each, and they must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m.

Please also continue to ensure that all material placed in garbage bins and green bins is properly bagged, specifically cleaning products such as wipes, tissues, napkins and other sanitary/hygiene products.
