Come by the League Hall for your opportunity to dispose of household items that are too large for regular collection - at no charge! In order to dispose at our site, you must be a resident of the community. Please read below for more details.
We cannot accept the following items. These should be taken to an City of Edmonton EcoStation:
- commercial waste
- hazardous waste materials
- tires
- paint cans or any other combustible materials placed in the bin ( gas cans, propane tanks )
- Fridges or freezers not drained of Freon
Recyclable items such as appliances, scrap metal, computers and electronics should be taken to a City of Edmonton EcoStation for recycling.
If our bins fill up before the end of the day, you can find other opportunities to dispose of items at City hosted Big Bin events.
Below is a map of where to arrive and how the bins will be arranged.
Please note: Community League Team members will be present to help with directing traffic and placement of waste. They can not guarantee any help to lift large objects, so you must be able to unload and dispose of yourself. Volunteers have the final say on what can and cannot be disposed of.
