Starting June 1, residents will be allowed to place one bag of garbage without tags at the curb for pick-up on collection day. All other bags collected will require bag tags. Starting July 1, the City will resume regular collection requiring tags for all bags placed at the curb.
Bag tags can now be purchased online at http://www.belleville.ca/bagtags. Please note that bag tags must be purchased in sheets of 10. Once purchased online, the tags will be mailed to the purchaser. Please plan ahead and allow 3-5 business days for delivery.
