Spring & Fall Clean-ups

Valley Waste offers two bulky waste clean-ups a year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. Clean-up weeks fall on the opposite week to your regular collection.

Your regular garbage collection day is used as a guide for your allocated Clean-up Week. For example, if your regular garbage collection day is Tuesday, Week 2 or Wednesday, Week 2 then your allocated Clean-up Week will be the May 8th to 12th for Spring Clean-up and October 9th to 13th for Fall Clean-up. Please note that Clean-up does NOT happen on your regular garbage day.

You are allowed up to 20 items for Clean-up Week collection and they must be curbside no later than 7am on the Monday of your Clean-up Week. The truck will be along once during that week. There is no specified day but trucks have been known to arrive on the Monday so make sure to have your items curbside to ensure collection.

Please refer to our maps below, our calendar and/or our social media for more information and clean-up rules.
