Surrey expands free Large Item Pickup program for faster service

Surrey residents can start the year with a cleaner home and neighbourhood by taking advantage of the City’s free Large Item Pickup program, now offering quicker service. With more collection trucks in operation, residents can schedule pickups within two to three weeks, making it easier to responsibly dispose of bulky household items like old furniture, appliances, mattresses, and electronics.

Households can schedule a curbside pickup for up to six large items per year, while homes with registered secondary suites qualify for up to eight items.

“Providing residents with free and convenient options to dispose of unwanted items is an important part of keeping Surrey clean,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “We’ve added more vehicles so residents can schedule pickups even sooner, leaving no excuse for illegal dumping.”

Residents can book a Large Item Pickup online at surrey.ca/largeitems or by calling 604-590-7289 (press 3). Items placed at the curb without a confirmed booking may be considered illegally dumped and could be subject to fines.

For larger quantities or immediate disposal, residents can drop off unwanted items for free or at low cost at Surrey’s two recycling and waste facilities: the Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre (154 Street and 67 Avenue) and the North Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre (9770 192 Street).

By using the Large Item Pickup service or local recycling and waste facilities, residents can help keep Surrey’s neighbourhoods clean and safe.
