Proposed Additions to Solid Waste Collection Services in Rural Halton Hills

We want to hear from you!

This survey is for rural household property owners in Halton Hills who do not currently receive garbage collection from Halton Region. For the purposes of this survey, “rural” is identified as household properties located in Halton Hills, in Waste Collection Area C (Wednesday collection) or Area D (Friday collection). You can confirm your collection schedule in the 2023 Halton Region Waste Collection Guide & Calendar or on Halton Region’s Waste Collection Schedule webpage on halton.ca.

If your household is not located in one of these areas, please do not complete this survey.

What additional collection services are being proposed?

In addition to current weekly Blue Box and Green Cart collection, the following additional waste collection services are proposed:

• Garbage collection:
  1. Every other week
  2. Three bag limit per household (50 lbs. (23 kg) weight limit per bag)
  3. Up to 3 additional bags with purchase of $2 garbage bag tags
• Bulk waste collection:
  1. Every other week
  2. Three item limit per household
  3. Examples include carpet, mattresses and broken furniture
     
• Metal and appliances collection:
  1. On request through our online form or phone
  2. Examples include stoves, fridges and large metal tables

These services are the same as those currently offered to households in urban areas of Halton Hills and throughout Halton Region (including other rural communities).

What is the impact to property taxes?

The estimated tax impact to residents in rural Halton Hills would be an additional $20.00 per year based on $100,000 Current Value Assessment (CVA). The CVA for your property is identified on your 2022 tax bill. You can also access Halton Region’s 2022 Property Tax Estimator on halton.ca.

When will a decision be made?

Survey results will be presented to Halton Hills Town Council in the fall of 2023. Town Council will consider the survey results and pass a motion with a recommendation to approve or not approve the collection of garbage, bulk waste and metal items for rural households. This recommendation will be shared with Halton Regional Council for a final recommendation. If the expansion of curbside collection services is approved, a comprehensive communications plan will be implemented to ensure all household owners are aware of the changes.

Where can I get more information?

More information about the proposed services is available in the presentation on the project page. To learn more about Halton Region’s waste management program and services, please visit halton.ca/waste, email wmconnect@halton.ca or call 311.
