How the local system works
Use the City's Info-collectes tool for the property's sector and current bulky-item schedule. Ecocentres and special collections handle materials that are excluded from ordinary encombrants.
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Check the current accepted list for mattresses and box springs. If they are excluded or the next collection is unsuitable, use an authorized ecocentre or private pickup.
Keep the mattress dry while you confirm the route. A box spring may count as another item, and contaminated mattresses can be refused.
Couches and large furniture
Furniture can qualify as an encombrant when it meets the size, material and set-out rules. Keep it clear of sidewalks and separate it from small loose garbage.
Measure large pieces before arranging transport and tell a hauler about stairs, elevators or long carries before accepting a quote.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
Metal appliances, electronics and refrigerant units often use dedicated recovery streams. Check the City's material directory before placing them with furniture.
Do not cut refrigerant lines or place batteries, fuel, food or household chemicals inside an appliance.
Drywall and renovation debris
Construction and renovation residue goes through ecocentres or an approved contractor, not the ordinary furniture collection. Sort wood, aggregate, metal and hazardous products.
Older drywall, texture coat, flooring and insulation may require an asbestos assessment before disturbance or disposal.
Does your property type change the answer?
Multi-unit buildings may have manager-arranged service or a designated storage area. Residents should confirm the building process before set-out.
Before you pay a junk-removal company
- Confirm whether the exact item already has a municipal or regional route.
- Check booking, set-out, quantity, wrapping and property-eligibility rules.
- Compare facility charges, vehicle access, fuel and lifting help with a full-service quote.
- Tell the company about heavy material, stairs, elevators and regulated items before accepting the price.
