Appointments booked before Wednesday noon are collected that Thursday; bookings after noon move to the following week. The listed fee is $39 per appliance including tax and may change. At a multi-residential building, coordinate the correct set-out point with the property manager.
Complete listed items and preparation
The full accepted list is air conditioners; barbecues with tanks removed; metal bathtubs; dehumidifiers; dishwashers; dryers; fireplace inserts; freezers; furnaces; drained metal hot-water tanks; humidifiers; disassembled metal pipes no longer than 1.5 metres; emptied oil tanks or drums; pool heaters with filter medium removed; push mowers or push snowblowers with liquids removed; range hoods; refrigerators; stoves; disassembled swing sets no longer than 1.5 metres; washing machines; water-pressure tanks; metal water softeners with filter medium removed; and metal water coolers.

Set-out window and cancellation
Place booked items at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. The city warns that non-compliant set-out can lead to fines. Follow the waste by-law and the appointment’s location instructions.
Cancel or request a refund by noon the day before collection. For Thursday, that is Wednesday noon. Approved cancellations have a $6 administration fee per appliance. Late requests receive no refund. Keep the appointment details so a cancellation can identify each paid item.
