Yellow bags for curbside properties now available for purchase
Starting Monday, November 4, any curbside garbage set out above the three-item garbage limit must be placed in a City of Ottawa yellow bag. Yellow bags are sold in packages of four for $17.60, and there is no limit to the number of yellow bags that can be purchased and set out on garbage day. As a reminder, large bulky items and furniture cannot be bagged.
Residents are encouraged to use existing waste diversion programs to decrease the amount of garbage they are setting at the curb. There’s no limit to blue, black or green bins and leaf and yard waste, and bins can be requested on Ottawa.ca↗.
