Proper Winter Set Out
Heavy snowfall and gusty winds can make curbside collection difficult and dangerous.
1) Ensure materials are easy to reach and visible. DO NOT PLACE ON SNOWBANKS.
2) Clear snow from around bins.
3) Keep bins back from roadway to prevent damage by snowplows.
For more set-out guidelines, visit our Curbside Collection page.
Recycle More, Right at Home!
Starting in January 2026, new materials were added to the residential curbside Blue Box collection. As a result, Markham’s Recycling Depots are no longer taking:
- Cardboard
- Styrofoam, plastic bags
- Blue box recyclables
Continue to bring us your unwanted electronics, used alkaline batteries, scrap metal and textiles.
For updates and details, visit our recycling depot page.
Community Mailbox Maintenance
Canada Post is responsible for maintaining all their mailbox sites, including the clean-up of mail-related litter, waste and snow removal.
