As part of our pilot project, the City has now taken over operating the Large Item Pick-up Program. Each qualifying household is allotted two free curbside pick-ups per calendar year (3 items maximum per pick up) – including mattresses, furniture, appliances, tires, exercise equipment and more. This program is available to household owners that receive City waste services and pay a solid waste levy on their property tax bills. We appreciate your patience as we transition in taking over this exciting project. Thank you!

Bookings are accepted through the form below. Please read the information below before booking – items that are not accepted or do not meet the criteria will not be picked up.

Requested by residents for many years, large-item pickup will help reduce illegal dumping and ensure discarded items are disposed of properly. It’s the latest improvement to the City’s waste services, following last year’s launch of year-round weekly green cart pickup and extra holiday recycling. 

Who can use the program

In order to qualify for large item pick up, one must be the homeowner and pays a solid waste levy on their property tax. For eg. If you rent, please contact the landlord and have them contact us via email at largeitempickup@portcoquitlam.ca or by phone at 604.927.5324 to confirm permission to use the large item pick up program for their residence. The request must come from the homeowner.

How to Schedule Your Pick-up

Qualifying households can schedule pick-ups by submitting the form below – up to six large items are accepted per calendar year. Bookings can be made up to twice per calendar year, for up to three items maximum per pick-up.

• Ensure you qualify to have your large item picked up based on the criteria above (must be a residential owner and paying a solid waste levy on your property tax bills).
• Submit the form for large item pick up online below.
• Wait for email confirmation from a large item pick-up clerk (within 48 hours). Please check your spam folder.
• Please do not place your items in front of your residence until your pick-up date has been confirmed with our large item pick-up clerk. Anything left out prior to the confirmed date would be considered illegal dumping and can lead to a fine.
• Once our large item pick-up clerk has received your request, they will be in touch with you to schedule your pick-up.
• Once given a pick-up date:
  • Prepare items based on the criteria (eg. Mattresses need to be plastic wrapped) and place your large item for pick-up at 7 am on the scheduled day you are given. A large item pick-up clerk will confirm your pick-up date at least one day prior

Please only submit a request if you are prepared to have your items picked up within the following few days. Pick-ups will typically be scheduled 2-5 business days after submission. Please also note that we can only schedule up to 2 weeks in advance.

Please review the criteria below. Items that are not accepted or do not meet the criteria will not be picked up.
