Preparation guidelines
To ensure your items are collected smoothly, follow these important guidelines:
- Set out time: Place items at your designated collection point by 7:30am on your scheduled collection day.
- Collection hours: Items may be picked up any time between 7:30am and 7:30pm.
- Multiple vehicles: Different types of items may be collected by different trucks throughout the day. Leave all items accessible until the end of the day.
Mattress & box spring requirements
- Must be individually wrapped and sealed in a clear plastic bag. For safety reasons, unwrapped mattresses cannot be collected.
- Free mattress bags are available at the Cart Storage Yard (14577 66 Ave), Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm. Bag dimensions are 78" x 8" x 90". If your mattress does not fit within these dimensions, you will need to purchase your own bag.
- Bring your Service Request (SR) number. A bag will only be provided if a mattress was included in your pickup request.
Glass items
- Large pieces of glass or mirrors are not accepted through this service.
- Remove any glass from furniture (e.g. glass tabletops or dresser mirrors) and take it to either the Central Surrey or North Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre for safe disposal.
- If you would like to use the program to have glass jars collected, place them in a cardboard box and select “Box of Household Items” when submitting your request.
