Is There a City-provided Bulk Item Pickup Service in Vancouver?

Yes, there is a city-provided bulk item pickup service in Vancouver. The City of Vancouver offers an official municipal collection program that allows eligible single-family homes and certain multi-unit buildings to schedule up to two free annual collections for large household items.

To use this service, you must follow these specific guidelines:

• Scheduling: Book your collection at least one week in advance online at vancouver.ca or by calling 3-1-1.
• Timing: Place your items at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day.
• Item Limits: Each individual piece must weigh under 50 kg (110 lbs) and be less than 6 feet in length. Branches should be bundled in 1.2 m lengths.
• Accepted Items: The city collects furniture, appliances (without Freon), mattresses, electronics, scrap metal, and yard waste.
• Prohibited Items: Hazardous waste (paints/chemicals), tires, batteries, and construction debris are not accepted through this program.

While the city service is excellent for occasional single items, we offer a more flexible alternative for larger property overhauls. We can integrate bulk waste and renovation debris removal directly into our Residential Landscape Maintenance or Commercial Landscaping services. This allows us to handle the heavy lifting and disposal as part of a broader plan to keep your yard looking effortlessly beautiful.

We serve the entire Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, from Vancouver to Hope. For larger volumes or yard-specific debris that exceeds city limits, you can Get a Free Quote for a professional cleanup. Please note that free quotes are subject to onsite inspection and may change after assessment.
