Donations Not Accepted
Please understand that we are unable to accept the following donations. You will need to leave these items at your curb or bring them to the Peel Recycle Centre. We cannot throw these out for you. We will be charged to do so. If we are charged, the money is taken from our programming. If we have to pay for the removal of garbage, someone in Caledon does not get to the doctor, cannot get food from the food bank or cannot make a call for some advice. Please help us and the Caledon community by throwing out these items and not leaving them with us.
