The City of Guelph is Rolling out the Carts
About your carts
The City of Guelph is rolling out a new way to collect organics, recyclables and garbage. Carts will be used instead of plastic bags. Using carts will reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill, lower the City’s operating costs and decrease Guelph’s carbon footprint.
You’ll receive:
- an information package about the cart program
- a food scrap container
- a small, 80-litre green cart for organics
- a blue cart for recyclables
- a grey cart for garbage
You’ll choose:
- one of four sizes for your blue cart and grey cart that best meets your household needs.
