When Should Peel Region Transfer Waste and Roads to Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon?
Official title: Minister's regulation to prescribe a different date for the transfer of jurisdiction over waste collection and regional roads from Peel Region to Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon under the Peel Transition Implementation Act, 2025
Peel Region is being dissolved, and its cities need to take over garbage collection and road maintenance. The province is proposing to delay these transfers—waste collection until October 2027, roads until July 2027—to give municipalities more time to prepare.
Why This Matters
Live in Mississauga, Brampton, or Caledon? Your garbage pickup and road maintenance are about to change hands. Getting the timing wrong could mean service disruptions or higher property taxes. This affects over 1.5 million residents.
What Could Change
Waste collection would transfer to the three cities on October 1, 2027 instead of January 2026. Regional roads and stormwater systems would transfer on July 1, 2027 instead of July 2026. Each city will need to build capacity to run these services independently.
Key Issues
- Should waste collection transfer be delayed from January 2026 to October 2027?
- Should regional roads transfer be delayed from July 2026 to July 2027?
- Are the proposed timelines sufficient for municipalities to prepare?
