Starting October 1, 2027, the City of Mississauga will take over local waste collection from the Region of Peel, which may change some residents’ collection day and how often yard waste is picked up. The Council-approved service levels are designed to keep collection reliable and meet Mississauga’s needs.


Waste collection includes picking up residential garbage, organics and yard waste and providing services for multi-residential buildings.


The community recycling centres will still be run by the Region of Peel. Recycling collection will continue to be handled by Circular Materials, which began on January 1, 2026.

The City became aware of fraudulent QR code stickers placed on some parking Pay and Display machines in Downtown Mississauga. These unauthorized QR codes redirect users to third‑party payment websites that are not affiliated with the City and can put personal and financial information at risk.


City staff responded immediately and removed approximately 80 fraudulent stickers within an hour of discovery. Teams were deployed to inspect parking machines across the city, and staff continue to actively monitor equipment to prevent further incidents.


Residents are reminded that the City does not use QR codes to collect parking payments in Mississauga.


Payment instructions are displayed on parking machines, and payment is accepted using coins or major credit cards. Anyone who sees a suspicious QR code on a parking machines is encouraged not to scan it and to report it by calling 311.

Pleased to attend the grand opening of the new T&T Supermarket Erin Mills located at 3060 Ridgeway Dr.

Peel Regional Police has launched a new portal to accept general driving concerns from the public.


This portal will allow members of the public to report driving behaviours that pose a risk to public safety and where police enforcement may be required.

 

This program expands on our existing Road Watch program that allows members of the public to report specific dangerous or aggressive driving that pose a risk to public safety but are not emergencies.


Key Highlights between each program include:

 

Road Watch

  • Dangerous and Aggressive Driving
  • License Plate Number Required

Examples: Excessive speeding in residential areas, aggressive lane weaving, or running red lights.

 

New General Driving Concern Portal

  • Observations of driving behaviour that pose a risk to public safety but are not emergencies.
  • No license plate required
  • City studies will need to be reviewed to validate and assess the reported concerns.

Examples: Roadways where police enforcement may be required for infractions such as speeding, failure to comply with stop signs, illegal U-turns, and other related traffic violations.


Increased awareness will help ensure residents know where to direct concerns and allow us to better identify trends and priority areas.

Mississauga City Council approved the new Rental Repairs and Renovations Licensing By-law.


The by-law, which takes effect September 1, 2026, increases protections for tenants who face eviction when their landlord requires them to move out for extensive renovations or repairs. This is often referred to as a ‘renoviction’. When landlords do not follow the legal process to evict their tenants for such renovations or repairs, this can increase housing insecurity and can lead to a loss of affordable housing.


The by-law is another important tool the City can use to ensure affordable rental housing remains available in Mississauga.
