SURREY residents have five months to clean up and drop off their waste for free (up to 100 kg) at Metro Vancouver’s Central Surrey and North Surrey Recycling and Waste Centres.
From May 1 to September 25, each household gets one trip, providing plenty of time for residents to utilize this free drop off service. Whether you’re spring cleaning, decluttering for summer, or preparing for back-to-school in September, we’ve got you covered. You can also bring up to four mattresses for free.
All acceptable recyclables such as electronics, metals, appliances, books, and clothing can be dropped off for free at any time. For details, visit surrey.ca/wastecentres.
Restrictions:
- Loads over 100kg are subject to regular fees above the free 100kg.
- Proof of Surrey residency is required and limited to one trip per household.
- Commercial and business vehicles are not permitted.
Residents who participate are encouraged to share their feedback. Visit the City’s website to take the short survey or keep an eye out for a survey card when you visit one of the recycling and waste centres. Your input will help the City better understand your needs and improve its waste management initiatives and services.
The City of Surrey also offers free curbside pickup for unwanted large items all year round. You can have old furniture, appliances, mattresses, and more picked up from your curb for free through the City’s Large Item Pickup Program. Booking is easy online at surrey.ca/largeitems or call 604-590-7289 (Option 3).
These initiatives are part of the City’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainability and responsible waste management, ensuring that Surrey remains a clean and safe place for everyone. With two full-service recycling and waste facilities, along with the Large Item Pickup Program, there is no excuse for illegal dumping in Surrey, notes the City.
