Business Waste Collection

Businesses in the downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area (BIA) can register for our garbage collection program. Our service area includes the BIA and businesses located on Princess Street, south of the Princess Street and Concession Street / Bath Road intersection. 

Curbside pickup is limited to garbage collection.

As of Jan. 1, 2026, the recycling convenience drop-off depot at 196 Lappan’s Ln. will cease operations. Businesses can source their own recycling collection from several different local waste disposal companies. 

Register for garbage collection

We offer business garbage collection for a fee of $315.94 per business on the property. Property owners must apply for waste collection, not the business owner. The total cost of collection is added to the property’s tax bill each year. This fee covers curbside pickup of up to six bags of garbage per business on the property.

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
