The City of Toronto hosts an online “Waste Wizard” where you can determine if something you are discarding belongs in the Garbage, Recycling or Green Bin or if it needs special handling such as batteries.
Also, if you’ve misplaced your collection calendar and don’t know what is being picked up on a particular week you can also use the “Collection App” by entering your address (or you can trust your neighbours and put out the same bins as they are!).
