Frequently Asked Questions

GarbageDay is a reminder service that will help you remember your garbage to-do list! Wish you remembered to get your bins out on time? Wish you remembered when the next yard waste day was? Schedule changes due to stat holidays? Well, with GarbageDay, you’re in good hands!

Interested? Sign up here.

We’ll send you timely reminders when it’s garbage, recycling, or even Christmas tree pickup day. We’ll even share the latest tips on how to be more environmentally conscious through our blog, and we’ll notify you when local and/or eco-friendly deals are available!

GarbageDay is owned and operated by RBC Ventures, a subsidiary of RBC Royal Bank, and we’re thrilled that they believe in our vision! At RBC Ventures, we’re going beyond banking to solve problems and transform the way you life your life.

Our reminder service is absolutely free! Like, $0. Zero. Any catch? The only one is: we provide you with local offers from brands we partner with, so that you can enjoy our service for free! Other than that, nothing really.

We take the privacy of our users very seriously, and we are strongly committed to being transparent and explicit around user consent. We never provide personal data to external partners except in cases where the user has expressly consented. If users choose to take advantage of a local merchant offer promoted through GarbageDay, we only share the total number of users who visited a particular location to access the offer. This information is shared on an anonymized, aggregate basis.

Since launching our services, we have received feedback from users on how we can make their lives even easier and add more value. We’ve partnered with select merchants to provide our users with special offers (perks). In return, our merchant partners pay us to distribute such offers to our users, allowing us to provide this service free-of-charge to all.

We love hearing from you! Email us at care@garbageday.com for any questions, feedback, or even if you just want to chat.

We service a growing number of towns and cities across 31 Regional Municipalities! Here is a list of the Collection Regions we provide waste reminders for. If you see the Regional Municipality that manages your waste collection, that means we’ve got you covered.

If you don’t see your Municipality below, you can still sign up for GarbageDay. We are working to expand to more cities across Canada. If you pre-register by completing the sign-up form, we will email you when we launch in your city.
