Norfolk County has various services and programs to help residents dispose of waste. For more information, go to norfolkcounty.ca/Waste.
Working together to keep
waste
in its place!
norfolkcounty.ca/Follow 2026 Waste Collection Calendar
1
The program includes automated cart-based garbage collection and a County-wide green bin program. These changes aim to reduce landfill use, improve service efficiency, and align with provincial waste diversion goals. Why are we making these changes? Our garbage goes to landfills outside Norfolk County, which are filling up fast. If we don’t reduce waste, it could cost more and harm the environment. A 2024 waste audit showed that 42–46% of garbage was compostable. The new green bin program will help keep food and paper waste out of landfills, protect the environment and improve waste services. Get the latest updates We’ll share all the details closer to launch, but for now, check out FAQs at norfolkcounty.ca/Wastechanges and find out how to subscribe to updates in real time. Norfolk County is launching a new waste collection program starting in September 2026. Reminders for our current waste program • Four bag limit • 18 kg (40 pound) weight limit per bag • Set out waste by 7 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day • Recyclables in plastic bags will not be accepted • To inquire about recycling bins, please call Norfolk Disposal Services at 1-800-616-0347

Composting
Composting turns organic waste into nutrient-rich soil, improving fertility and root health. Composters are sold at Simcoe Recreation Centre (182 South Dr.). Composting takes three to 18 months, but it will be faster if the pile is turned regularly and covered with a one-inch layer of soil or compost. Dry or frozen piles decompose more slowly. Compost is ready when it has a crumbly texture and a pleasant, earthy smell.
