A new, convenient way to buy your official city recycling containers!
 


You can buy your new recycling containers
at a Home Hardware store
anywhere in the City of Toronto.
Here’s how it works:
  Faster, easier service!
 


You can now buy five of the City’s official recycling containers at any one of 37 Home Hardware stores in the City of Toronto, for the same low price you pay at the 11 City of Toronto Recycling Container Pick-up Locations or at an Environment Day.
  Why is this a good deal for Toronto residents?
 
The City of Toronto is not in the retail business; therefore, the locations of the City’s 11 Recycling Container Pick-up Locations - which until now were the only places you could buy a new container, besides Environment Days - and their hours of operation are not always convenient for residents. You can now purchase containers at your convenience at any one of 37 Home Hardware stores - conveniently located in neighbourhoods across the City of Toronto, and with hours of operation better suited to your schedule.

Grey box $6.00
Yard waste bin $7.00
Green bin: $18.00
Green bin kitchen container: $5.00
Can I replace my broken container at Home Hardware?

No. Residents must take their broken bin to any one of the City’s 11 Recycling Container Pick-up Locations or an Environment Day. Home Hardware is not responsible for replacing broken bins.
Can I replace my lost containers at Home Hardware?

Residents can purchase a new bin at either a Home Hardware store or a City pick-up location. Home Hardware is not responsible for lost bins.
I just moved to Toronto. Where can I get new containers?

The City of Toronto provides new residents with new recycling containers free of charge; however, new residents must take proof of residency within 90 days to one of the City’s 11 Recycling Container Pick-up Locations, or an Environment Day to receive their new bins. Home Hardware is not responsible for giving new bins to new residents.

Where else can I buy recycling containers?


In addition to Home Hardware stores, you can still purchase these containers from any one of the City’s 11 Recycling Container Pick-up Locations or at a Councillor Environment Day.
