Garbage and Recycling

Norfolk County has a wide variety of services and programs to help our residents dispose of waste as efficiently and environmentally sound as possible.  Information on these programs can be found on this site, or in the Collection Guide.

Safe Waste Disposal Guidelines

• Bag all waste. Do not place waste loosely in garbage containers
• Do NOT place used rubber gloves, face masks, tissues and napkins, in your recycling box. These items should be placed in your GARBAGE. Wash your hands afterwards.

Garbage Collection

Garbage is collected weekly in Norfolk County with a limit of 4 bags per household.  To find out about other information about weekly garbage disposal, view our Garbage Collection information page. For special pickup dates such as holidays, use the My Schedule tool above.  All garbage must be bagged, including garbage in cans. Any garbage that isn’t bagged will not be collected.
