How to dispose

There are three ways to dispose of large household items depending on whether they are usable or unusable.

Usable large household items

  • Extend the life of this item by reusing, selling, or donating

Reuse large household items by:

  • Giving to family and friends
  • Posting on online websites like Facebook Marketplace

Donate usable large household items to local charities. Contact your preferred charity to confirm what type of donations they are accepting. Options include: 

Unusable large household items

  • Put into your black cart

Put broken or unusable housewares into your black cart as garbage.

  • Break down items so they fit inside your black cart. Pieces must be less than 1.25 m (four feet) in length.
  • Do not overpack or jam items as they will not empty out of the bin on collection day. Make sure the cart lid can close.

  • Take to a City Eco Centre

Take large and unusable housewares to a City Eco Centre for disposal – charges will apply.
