Garbage Bag Tags

Residents setting out more than 4 bags of garbage every 2 weeks are required to tag each bag over the 4-bag limit. Garbage Bag Tags are special peel-and-stick labels that can be attached to your garbage bag.

Visit the Durham Region website for more information.

Garbage Bag Tags are easy to use:

• peel the tag and flag it around the top of any additional bags above the four bag limit
• do not use as a twist-tie
• when using garbage cans, tags should be placed on the top item inside the can
• there is no limit to the number of properly tagged garbage bags set out for collection, provided they are tagged

Residents can purchase bag tags at the following locations for $1.50 each:
