Quick answer for Paradise
Both BULK GARBAGE and METAL COLLECTION are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. The Town provides ONE FREE bulk and ONE FREE metal pickup per household per year; each additional service can be booked for $25 including HST. Call 709-782-3577 to arrange the correct category, and do not mix metal with other bulk refuse.
1. What ordinary curbside collection covers
Paradise residents use the municipal ordinary waste calendar and separate biweekly recycling program. Ordinary weekly collection must not be confused with the Town’s special bulk service.
2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route
Items not eligible for municipal bulk collection must go through the appropriate authorized recycling centre or Robin Hood Bay facility. Confirm receiving and charges for large furniture or mattresses before self-hauling.
3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste
The Town sends hazardous household chemicals to Robin Hood Bay and provides distinct routes for electronics, clothing and batteries. Do not include electronics, chemicals or prohibited material in bulk piles.
4. Charges, schedules and booking
Additional collection is listed by the Town at $25 (HST included) per bulk or metal booking. The first annual qualifying household pickup is described as free, but only after booking and meeting the Town’s rules.
What still needs a last check
The reviewed general page does not give all prohibited bulky items or current booking capacity; confirm item eligibility, preparation and earliest service date by telephone.
Waste and recycling rules can vary by building type, address, operator and material. Large items should not be left at the curb unless your applicable collection program explicitly authorizes them. Facility acceptance is different from curbside acceptance.
Before you load a truck or place an item outside
- Check whether municipal or regional service applies to your property.
- Identify the item’s exact stream: mattress, furniture, major appliance, metal, hazardous waste, construction material or ordinary household refuse.
- Check the official fee, facility hours and any required booking or advance approval.
- Secure your load and follow facility instructions for separation or special handling.
