How to dispose of common items in Kingston
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Do not place mattresses or box springs out for municipal bulky-item pickup because Kingston does not offer curbside large-item collection. Use donation/reuse where suitable or a private transfer station or pickup service.
Couches and large furniture
Kingston does not offer municipal curbside large-item pickup. Reusable furniture can use Giveaway Days or donation; otherwise use a private transfer station or private pickup service.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
Metal appliances, electronics and refrigerant units use separate collection or depot streams. Keep doors secured or removed only when the official safety directions require it.
Drywall and renovation debris
Construction waste should be self-hauled to an accepting facility or removed by a debris hauler. Household hazardous waste and asbestos-risk material must be kept out of mixed loads.
Does your property type change the answer?
Students, tenants and condo residents should confirm whether the property uses City or private collection before moving an item to the curb or bin room.
