Bulk Waste Pickup Calendar 2024
The City will pick up oversized items set out beside your garbage bin on your garbage collection day.
An annual fee for this service is charged to each house and multi-residential unit, regardless of whether or not the service is used. The fee is based on the cost to collect, process and dispose of these items. It allows the City to offer convenient and economical pickup of oversized and metal items eliminating the need to take them to a depot, book an appointment for pickup or pay a private hauler.
