Going away for a long weekend, a few weeks, or the entire winter season? Bins that sit untouched week after week signal an empty home. Waste Mate manages your entire bin schedule while you're away — moving your garbage, recycling, and green bins to the curb before every collection and returning them afterward. Your home looks lived-in whether you're in Miami or Muskoka.
Keep Your Home Looking Occupied While You Travel
Empty bins on the curb week after week are a clear signal.
A home with bins that never move — or never go out — draws attention. Waste Mate keeps your collection schedule running normally while you're gone. Bins go out before pickup, come back after collection, and your property looks the same as any other house on the street. Simple, reliable, and discreet.
Vacation Bin Coverage Across the GTA — Short or Long Term
One week or one season — we've got you covered.
Whether you're gone for two weeks or five months, Waste Mate can manage your bins for the full duration. Set it up before you leave and we'll handle every collection day until you're back. No check-ins, no coordination, and no need to rely on a neighbour who might forget.
How Waste Mate Works
Set It Up Before You Leave
Tell us your address, travel dates, and where your bins are stored. We take it from there — no check-ins, no calls, no coordination needed while you're away.
We Handle Every Collection Day While You're Gone
Every collection day during your trip, we move your bins to the curb before pickup. Your home looks lived-in, not vacant — same as any other house on the street.
We Return Everything After Every Pickup
Bins are back in place the same day they go out. Whether you're away for two weeks or five months, your property looks normal and well-maintained the entire time.
