Residents who receive curbside garbage collection may place up to two large items at the curb for pick-up and disposal during the week of April 13-17.
This is an opportunity to dispose of large or bulky items such as furniture, appliances (refrigerators/stoves), exercise equipment or mattress.
On your regular garbage day, place these items at your usual collection point by 7 a.m. Please leave a minimum of 1 metre of space between your carts and large items, as a separate collection truck collects the oversized items.
Common accepted items include furniture, appliances (such as refrigerators, stoves), exercise equipment and mattresses. The maximum allowable weight per item is 90 kg / 200 lb.
Items that are not accepted are objects with gas motors, televisions, hot water tanks and renovation waste such as toilets, plumbing fixtures, large pieces of glass and doors.
Small appliances and electronics will not be collected, but they can be dropped off free of charge at PACE at 105 Martin Street (entrance on Estabrook Ave) or at Campbell Mountain Landfill at 1765 Reservoir Road.
Multifamily buildings are not eligible to participate in large item collection events.
