What Items are Considered Bulk Waste for Pickup in Vancouver?

When you are preparing for a scheduled collection, it is important to know which materials are eligible for removal. The City of Vancouver typically accepts a variety of large household goods, while certain hazardous or heavy materials are excluded from their standard service.

Acceptable items for city collection include:

• Furniture: Large indoor and outdoor pieces.
• Appliances: Major household appliances (ensure doors are removed from refrigerators and freezers, and note that units containing Freon may be restricted).
• Mattresses and Scrap Metal: These should be separated for proper recycling.
• Yard Waste: Branches must be bundled in 1.2 m lengths.
• Electronics: Items such as TVs and computers are generally accepted in specific collections.

Please note that the city cannot take hazardous waste (paints or chemicals), tires, batteries, or commercial waste. Additionally, items over 50 kg or 6 ft in length may require special arrangements and additional fees.
