Large (Bulky) Items
Large, oversized items are anything that is too large to fit within an approved garbage container. These items include furniture, mattresses and box springs. Large items can be placed at the curb for pick-up on your scheduled garbage collection day provided each item has a large item tag attached. Please disassemble and bundle large heavy items so that they are manageable for collection.
For safety reasons, large items that contain glass (e.g. table tops, curio cabinets, etc.) must have the glass removed as this material is not accepted in the curbside collection program. Large mirrors are also not accepted. Large mirrors and large amounts of glass can be taken to select York Region Waste Depots for disposal (disposal fees apply).
Metal Items and Appliances
Large metal items such as appliances, barbecues (no propane tanks), furnaces, hot water heaters, bicycles and other large metal items require a large item tag and special curbside collection.
To arrange for curbside collection, residents must first purchase a large item tag and then call GFL (Green for Life) at 1-866-421-5625. If a special collection has not been booked, metal items will not be collected.
For safety reasons, please remove doors from fridges, freezers, dishwashers and ovens.
