Welcome to our new website

We’ve redesigned niagararegion.ca to make it easier to find what you need. We’re still putting on the finishing touches, so over the next few weeks you may notice:

  • Search is still learning. Some results may be incomplete or out of date. Try browsing by topic from the main menu.
  • Some links may not work. Old bookmarks and links may lead to pages that have moved.
  • Pages are still being updated. We’re reviewing content across the site and improving it as we go.

Garbage tags

Residents may put out up to two bags or cans of garbage every other week without a garbage tag. A garbage tag is required for each additional bag or can. Garbage tags are available only to residents of single-family homes and apartment buildings with six units or less.

$3.30

Per tag - no refunds

How to use a bag tag

Place the tag around the neck of each additional bag, or on top of the materials in each additional container. Do not place tags directly on garbage cans.
