​New partnership aims to improve efficiency, maintain service levels and better meet the needs of residents

​BRAMPTON, ON (March 20, 2025) – Today, following resolutions approved by local area municipalities, Peel Regional Council passed a resolution directing the lower-tier municipalities to begin planning the transition of waste collection services from the Region of Peel. The change is set to take effect on January 1, 2026. The move aims to streamline operations and enhance service delivery at the local level.

As part of this transition, the City of Brampton and the Town of Caledon will establish a partnership for the joint delivery of waste collection services in their communities. This will ensure that current service levels are maintained while also safeguarding long-term cost-efficiency, stability and service continuity for both municipalities. 

While residential waste collection services will be transferred to Brampton, community recycling centres will continue to be owned and operated by the Region of Peel. No disruption to existing services is anticipated as current contracts will remain in place. 

As a next step in this transition, staff from the Region of Peel, City of Brampton, City of Mississauga and Town of Caledon will form a working group to begin coordinated planning. This collaborative approach will ensure all parties are aligned on financial planning, service levels and operational logistics, while minimizing the impact to residents.

By restoring a responsibility that was previously managed at the municipal level prior to regionalization in the 1990s, this transition will improve service efficiency, streamline decision-making and empower Brampton and Caledon to tailor waste collection services to meet the needs of their growing populations.

Residents can continue to follow their weekly waste collection schedule, guidelines and by-laws. For more information about waste collection services, visit peelregion.ca/waste.​
