How to dispose of common items in Richmond Hill
Fees, free streams and limits
- Local route: Richmond Hill’s municipal large-item rules depend on property type. City-serviced apartments and condominiums can book free bulky-waste collection twice per month, while large metal goods use a separate monthly appointment service.
Drywall and renovation debris
Renovation waste, hazardous waste and electronics are excluded from the bulky-waste program; route them to York Region depots or the appropriate producer program.
Mattress and box-spring disposal
At houses, mattresses and other furniture are collected every other week with garbage and each piece counts toward the three-item limit; furniture must not exceed 68 kg (150 lb) or 1.8 m (6 ft). At City-serviced apartments and condominiums, bulky collection is by appointment through the building representative, with items limited to 1.83 m and 68 kg.
Appliances and special items
Large metal goods and appliances can use Richmond Hill’s separate monthly appointment service where the property is eligible.
Before you set out or haul a large item
In Richmond Hill, classify the item before choosing the disposal route. Furniture, mattresses, refrigerant appliances, electronics, household hazardous waste and construction debris can be governed by different collection or facility rules even when they come from the same home.
Use Richmond Hill — Bulky Waste for Apartments and Condos to re-check the current collection date or booking requirement, item dimensions or weight limits, facility hours, fees and preparation instructions. If the guide uses a regional authority, that is intentional: the regional waste operator may control disposal even when curbside service is associated with the municipality.
