WHAT'S NEW!

Curbside Giveaway Day - Saturday, September 20 (rain or shine)

Markham residents are invited to place their unwanted items, clearly marked “FREE”, at the curb for others to browse and take for their own use, free of charge. It’s like a garage sale without the money or hassle.

Anything that does not find a new home must be taken back in by 7PM on the same day, as there will be no special municipal collection.
For more details visit our Curbside Giveaway Day page.

Consumers' Choice Program - it's easy and it's your choice!

Every week, flyers pile up in our mailboxes. To stop receiving paper flyers all together, simply place a note inside your mailbox or submit a request to Canada Post.

For more information, visit our Blue Box page.

eWaste - Now accepted at all Markham Recycling Depots!

Markham Recycling Depots are now accepting your unwanted electronics for safe, responsible recycling – at no charge to you.

Electronics are filled with valuable resources like glass, plastic, gold, silver, copper, palladium and more. Proper recycling ensures that these heavy metals are handled safely to protect our environment.

Know before you go! Protect your privacy - you must clear all personal information from computers, cell phones, any electronics prior to drop off. The City of Markham is not responsible for personal information contained on your electronic devices nor are we able to retrieve or return items.

For more guidelines, accepted items and Depot locations visit our Electronics page.
