The Municipality of Central Elgin will be transitioning from the garbage tag program to a garbage cart collection system as of Summer 2021. Tags are to be used until the cart program is implemented. There will be no changes to recycling collection.

The number of allowable bags will depend on your property. For 2021:

Residential properties receive 42 tags/year
Commercial properties receive 91 tags/year
Agricultural properties with a valid registration number receive an additional 19 tags/year
