Events Description
Drop off your large household waste at a Big Bin Event for free. These can be items like mattresses, furniture and large appliances that are too large for curbside pickup. Household hazardous waste is not being accepted and should be taken to an Eco Station at no cost instead.
Before attending a Big Bin Event, residents are encouraged to review the list of accepted materials. Items allowed include:
- couches, chairs, mattresses and other household furniture items too large for curbside pickup
- fridges, freezers, washers, dryers and other large household appliances
- computers, televisions and other household electronics
- grass clippings and yard waste, including branches no longer than 1.2 m (4 ft) and 0.75 m (2.5 ft) in diameter (accepted for free anytime during the year)
- tires and scrap metal
- excess household garbage (should not include food scraps or recycling)
All materials will be accepted at no charge including bulky items, appliances and electronics. Residents attending Big Bin Events are required to unload their own vehicles. The City thanks all residents for their patience as significant interest is anticipated in these events and line-ups are expected.
