How to dispose of common items in Shelburne
Mattresses, couches and household furniture
The county program accepts mattresses, box springs, chairs, sofas, furniture, carpet and pallets within the booked-item limit. Items should only be set out after the pickup has been arranged.
Dufferin County’s policy says booked items should be at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. The service is available to single-family homes and multi-residential buildings under the county program.
Appliances, electronics, paint, propane and other special items
Appliances are priced separately from furniture. Electronics, household hazardous waste, tires and propane cylinders do not belong in the bulky pile and should use Dufferin County’s dedicated diversion options.
For 2026, Dufferin County also scheduled household hazardous and electronic-waste events in Shelburne at the Operations Centre, 124 Luxton Way, on May 30 (8 a.m.–3 p.m.) and August 19 (3–8 p.m.). These events are for household material, not ordinary garbage or white goods.
Renovation, construction and yard debris
Construction and demolition material is not accepted as bulky curbside waste. Route renovation material to a facility that accepts it.
Dufferin County also collects yard waste on Week B in Shelburne’s urban area and rural subdivisions; collection begins at 7 a.m. and can continue through the week. Rural properties outside those areas use the county call-in system, which requires contacting GFL at least one week ahead.
