Homes and businesses with excessive or improperly stored waste will be subject to increased penalties

In 2024, garbage-related issues made up one-third of all service requests in Brampton, with 43% involving repeat offenders. In response, the City is escalating fines for excessive and improperly stored garbage on private property. Councillor Rowena Santos says the crackdown targets slum landlords and negligent owners who undermine community well-being. New standards and enforcement tools, including the Residential Rental Licensing program, aim to clean up Brampton—one property at a time.
