You may be doing a home refresh, buying new furniture or kicking some old items to the curb - literally! The City of Vaughan is reminding everyone of the proper ways to dispose of large and bulky household items, such as toilets, mattresses and chairs.
To help keep waste collectors safe during collection days, follow these helpful tips to ensure your large and bulky items are picked up:
Waste must be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the day of collection. If your items are in good condition, consider donating them to families in need or a local charitable organization.
Remember, stormwater ponds are not a dumping ground for your old furniture. Many large and bulky items can also be delivered to any of York Region's Community Environmental Centres. Fees will apply. The Vaughan location is at 130 McCleary Crt.
Residential appliance and metal pickup
Are you looking to dispose of appliances or large metal items, such as dishwashers, air conditioners and refrigerators? The City collects these items by appointment only on Thursdays. Book an appointment and make a payment through Service Vaughan or call Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281. For more information, visit the City's Appliance and Metal Pickup webpage.
