Rejection Tag Program

Rejection tags are used by the Municipality’s Garbage Collector. Any solid waste clear bag containing any banned material or HHW will be left at curbside with a florescent green error sticker, explaining why your bag was not picked up. Also, any recycling blue bag with contaminates, mixed bags, organic material, items which are not recyclable, HHW or solid waste will also be left at curbside with florescent orange sticker explaining why your recyclable bag was left at curbside. These bags will also be rejected if delivered to the Landfill. If you should require further clarification you can call our Hotline at 1-888-232-2316.
