Please call 905.477.5530 to book and pay for a collection appointment. It costs $17.50 for each appliance (effective January 1, 2023).
All registered items must be set out at your curb by 7 AM on your appointment day. You can also put them out after 7 PM the night before.
For safety reasons, please remove all fridge and freezer doors from your appliance before placing it at the curb.
