Transfer of Waste Collection Services 



Last month, City and Regional Councils approved a motion to transfer waste collection responsibilities from the Region of Peel to the municipalities of Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon.

Waste collection includes curbside collection of residential waste, recycling and organics as well as collection from multi-residential buildings. The transfer provides the City with an opportunity to gain efficiencies that have a potential for savings, and a collection service that is better coordinated with other municipal services.

To facilitate the transfer, a Transition Committee comprised of staff from the Region of Peel, City of Mississauga, City of Brampton, and Town of Caledon, will be created to develop a transition plan that targets an implementation date of January 1, 2026.

Be a Responsible Pet Owner



I have been receiving concerns about dogs off-leash at City parks and pet owners not picking up after their pets. I would like to take this opportunity to provide more information about being a safe and responsible pet owner in our community and hope you find this information useful. Please remember that pet owners in Mississauga must follow the City’s Animal Care and Control By-law to ensure our communities remain safe and respectful of each other and our pet companions.

Dogs must be on a leash whenever they are in public, except for inside leash-free dog parks in the City. A leash helps to keep your dog safe and prevents them from getting lost, running away, encountering unfriendly wildlife, and scaring, jumping or biting other people and pets. If you do not put your dog on a leash, you may be fined up to $140.

As a dog owner, you are responsible for cleaning up after your dog in public spaces. Please remember to dispose of dog waste by putting it into a waste container or designated green dog waste container. Do not put dog waste in to be recycled. For more helpful info about pets in our city, visit Mississauga.ca/animalservices. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.

New Fees for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations



Users of City-owned public EV charging stations in Mississauga will now be charged a $0.30/kWh fee. The fee is based on the actual amount of energy that is used to charge the electric vehicle. Today, there are 30 City-owned public EV charging stations located in Mississauga, with more on the way throughout 2025. There are four chargers in Streetsville Municipal parking lot 21.

Charging fees will enable the City to recover the costs of operating and maintaining electric vehicle (EV) charging stations while encouraging usage turnover to optimize charger availability for all. More info on the charging fees is available here.

Safe City Countering Hate Program
