As the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve and information changes rapidly, the City continues to adapt and proactively respond accordingly. Please note the following update.
Regular curbside garbage collection requirements will resume beginning July 6, 2020. This means that starting July 6, 2020, all garbage placed out at the curb must have a City of Orillia garbage tag on it or it will not be collected.
Beginning July 6, 2020, the Waste Diversion Site, 100 Kitchener St., public hours will be extended to Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Reuse Depot for paint and household items will also reopen to the public. The following restrictions are in place at the Waste Diversion Site:
- Debit or credit only. No cash.
- Please try to limit bringing in items that can be set at the curb like recycling and small loads of tagged garbage.
- While in the lineup of vehicles to get into the landfill, all residents must stay in their vehicles.
- All visitors to the site must maintain a physical distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from anyone else at all times.
- Visitors must follow safety precautions and staff instructions. Above all else, please act safely, responsibly and respectfully.

The City of Orillia is determined to keep as many items as possible out of its Waste Diversion Site (landfill). For this reason, the City decided to gradually introduce a Garbage Tag Program, while increasing its efforts to help people recycle. In addition to an extensive Blue Box Recycling Program (called recycling box in Orillia), the City also has a Green Bin program for compostable materials.
Garbage (and diaper) collection is now every other week. Recycling and green bin/yard waste are still collected weekly. Collection is delayed by one day after a statutory holiday as noted in the Collection Calendar.

Do you want to know when your garbage collection day is? Pingstreet is a free mobile app for mobile devices and provides Orillia residents with real-time access to a calendar showing when your garbage, recycling, green bin and yard waste curbside pick-up will occur. It even accounts for delayed collection during weeks with statutory holidays. The optional "remind me" feature will ensure you never miss another garbage day!
We attempt to make our website documents accessible, however, some of these documents may not completely meet the AODA accessibility requirements. If you require assistance or communication support, please contact 705-326-1502.
