PICK-UP BOOK ONLINE AT
SURREY.CA/LARGEITEMS
TAKE OUR LARGEST CHALLENGE YET!
Help us keep recycling out of our landfills, and reduce illegal dumping.
The City of Surrey offers curbside pick‑up services for six (6) large items every
year for single family homes and up to eight (8) items for homes with registered
secondary suites! We do the heavy lifting for you, separating the recyclable
items to ensure they stay out of our landfills. This program not only supports
Surrey’s waste diversion goal, but it also saves you time and money.
Challenge your household to use this service next time you have unwanted
household items — and let us do the work for you! Visit surrey.ca/largeitems
for more information. Or set up your large item pick‑up today in two easy steps:
1. Call the City of Surrey Waste Collection Hotline at 604-590-7289 (Option 3)
or book online at surrey.ca/largeitems to arrange your pick‑up date.
2. On the day of your appointment (or the evening before), place the large items
at the curb. Please ensure all items are at your curb by 7:30 am.
Items placed at curbside without an appointment are considered illegal
dumping and will not be collected. This may also result in fines.

solidify before disposing into your organics cart
(without the can).
Ensure food or yard waste is already in your cart
to help soak up any cooking oil!
