How to dispose of common items in Aurora

Appliances and special items

Appliances, electronics and hazardous materials can have separate regional recycling or depot routes; check York Region’s Waste Depot rules before loading the vehicle.

Drywall and renovation debris

Construction debris is not ordinary bulky furniture. Use a York Region depot or private construction-waste service appropriate to the material.

Mattress and box-spring disposal

Mattresses and large furniture should be scheduled as bulky items rather than left beside regular garbage without a request.
