OVERSIZED ITEMS (OSI) collection

(formerly known as Bulk Waste collection)

If your Calendar indicates an OSI Collection date no appointment is required. 

For those that need an appointment please ensure that bulky items placed out for collection on your scheduled pickup day are the same items listed when you booked your appointment. This will help our crews provide cost effective, efficient service. Only items on your list and that meet guidelines can be collected. Once bookings have closed, no additional items can be added to the appointment.

Please review the OSI guidelines for accepted and non-accepted items before scheduling your appointment. This will help ensure your items are collected as planned.

Oversized Items (OSI) Guidelines:

• Place items at your own curb by 7 a.m. (if applicable to your collection area) on your designated bulk waste collection day. Only your household’s items should be at the curb.
• Place oversized items next to your garbage box or where waste is normally placed for weekly collection.
• Separate metal items from other bulk waste (such as furniture).
• Do not stack items.
• Waste must be accessible.
• Do not place items not meant for OSI collection, like bicycles or children’s toys, near collection area.
• If it can fit in a regular garbage bag, it is not oversized waste. Small, loose items that can fit in a garbage bag are for regular weekly curbside collection.
• No bagged waste will be accepted.
• Scattered or loose items will not be collected.
• Individual items must not exceed a maximum of 20 kg (45 lb).
• A maximum of 226 kg (500 lbs) or one pick-up load (whichever is less) will be collected from each household.
• It may take a few days for bulk items to be collected from all residences. Not all materials will necessarily be collected at once—for example, furniture may be collected on day one and metal collected the following day. It’s still important that all material is placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the day collection begins.

Oversized items remaining curbside after collection is complete could result in a penalty. The cost of returning to remove the material and ensure its proper disposal will be charged to the property owner.

Illegal Dumping is a crime

Illegal dumping is a serious and unnecessary problem in Newfoundland and Labrador that poses a threat to the environment and our community.

Crime Stoppers encourages the public to report information of any suspicious activity involving the improper disposal of waste, including crimes in progress, as well as details on illegal dumpsite locations.
