Curbside Large Item Pick Up

Dates for 2022:

Zone A: June 13 to 17

Zone B: June 20 to 24

Maximum of two (2) large items per house (no exceptions)
- Only those items deemed ‘acceptable’ will be collected for disposal. Please see the list of ‘acceptable’ and ‘unacceptable’ below
Unlimited electronic items will also be accepted
- Items such as TVs and stereos are acceptable; however, residents are advised against placing electronics at the curb that could contain sensitive information, such as computers and tablets
"Extra garbage" tags are not required to dispose of large items
This program is only available to households who receive waste collection services from the City

Leave the large items at the curbside by 7:00 a.m. on your Brown Garbage Cart collection day
Remember to provide enough space between your carts/bags, and the large items for collection. Minimum of one (1) metre (three feet) distance from all obstacles. Generally, an arm's length is a good distance marker
Houses with back alleys must put large items out at the front of your property for collection
Items with fuel or oil tanks (barbecues, lawnmowers, etc.) must have fuel or oil tanks drained, or they will not be collected
Put a note on items you'd like picked up (e.g. old basketball and hockey nets, lawnmowers, wheelbarrows, rain barrels, bicycles, etc.) to help identify it as being out for the event. This will assist the staff
- Print our note/sign and attach it onto your large item
Please help the staff by deconstructing, compressing and compacting all large items as best as possible. Consider staff’s safety when preparing large items for collection (including watching for sharps and weight of items)
