2026 Waste Changes

In-person "Meet the Carts" display locations for Norfolk County’s new waste collection program have changed as of Thursday, May 14. Staff will continue to be available in person at one location each week. 

Norfolk County is hosting two Open House events to provide an overview of upcoming changes to curbside waste collection, which are scheduled to begin on September 28, 2026.

The Open House events will cover key elements of the new waste collection program, including cart options, waste exemption applications, and important timelines. County staff will be available to share information and answer questions from residents, farms, and businesses.

Norfolk County is now accepting waste exemption applications for eligible households only, including homes with three or more children in diapers, licensed home daycares, and residents who generate medical waste in the home. Approved exemptions will take effect as part of the new waste collection program launching September 28, 2026.

As Norfolk County prepares to launch a new curbside waste collection program in September, residents and businesses are invited to preview garbage and organics carts in person and determine the option that works best for their property.
