Residents who wish to dispose of large metal items, appliances and other bulk items are required to purchase large item tags.
Bulk Items
Large, non-metal items such as furniture, mattresses, box springs, plastic lawn furniture and other bulk items can be placed at the curb for pick-up on your regular garbage collection day provided each item has been affixed with a large item tag.
Metal Items and Appliances
Large metal items such as appliances, barbecues (excluding propane tanks), furnaces, hot water heaters, bicycles and other large metal items must be recycled and arranged to be picked up.
To arrange for curbside collection, residents must first purchase a large item tag and then call our waste collection contractor, Green for Life (GFL) at 1-866-421-5625. If a special collection is not booked, metal items will not be collected.
