Spring & Fall Clean-ups

Spring and Fall Clean-ups

Valley Waste conducts two bulky waste clean-up events each year—one in the Spring and one in the Fall. These clean-ups are scheduled for the week opposite your regular collection day.

Remember, clean-ups do not occur on your regular garbage collection day.

You can set out up to 20 items at the curb by 7 AM on the Monday of your designated Clean-up Week. The collection truck will make one pick-up during that week, potentially as early as Monday. For essential details and rules, refer to our map, calendar, or social media channels.

No more than 20 items will be collected from any one stop. An item is a single object, a bag or a securely tied bundle measuring no more than 1.2 metres in length.
Bagged garbage must be in clear transparent bags
No more than 2 of any one appliance type (e.g. washing machine, stove, water tank, etc.) will be collected at any one stop.
Items not collected during Clean–up are the responsibility of the resident and must be removed from roadside at the end of their clean-up week.
Lumber or loose items must be bagged or tied securely in bundles no longer than 1.2 metres (4 feet). Nails should be bent over or removed for safety reasons.
Any one furniture or appliance item must weigh no more than 91kgs (200 lbs). other items must weigh no more than 34kgs (75lbs).
Fridges, freezers and air conditioners cannot be collected until CFC’s have been removed and a sticker applied to the unit. The Eastern Management Centre at 100 Donald Hiltz Rd. in the Kentville Business Park, and the Western Management Centre at 343 Elliot Road near Lawrencetown at Exit 19 on Highway 101 will accept and service refrigeration units for a $20 fee.
The truck will collect once during your allocated Clean-up Week. No specified day. Please either check our calendar, or map above, or social media to determine your Clean-up Week.
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW), electronics, cardboard, recycling, leaves, garden waste, tires, household and lithium batteries are NOT accepted for Clean-up. Please remove batteries from items. For more information on how to dispose of HHW please visit our Hazardous Household Waste page.
