The City’s residential Curbside Bulk Item Collection is back! From Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 16, 2025, the City’s contractor will be collecting bulky waste items that do not fit inside an approved residential garbage container, or cannot be collected during regular waste collection.
Items like bulky toys, rolled up tarps and carpets, couches, and small furnishings can be placed curbside with a maximum allowed volume of material no greater than 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, by 8 feet (2.4 m) long and 2 feet (0.6 m) high. Roughly the size of a standard half (1/2) pick-up truck cab. Mattresses and box springs can be discarded, but must be securely wrapped in plastic in order to be collected.
Each residential dwelling (based on address) will also be allowed to dump one free load at the Deloro Landfill between May 5 and May 16, 2025. Residents must provide proof of address. Tipping fees will be waived on one (1) load only. For residents without access to a vehicle, they can accompany the driver and provide proof of address, or download and fill out a form authorizing another resident to drop off their waste material. The form is available on the City of Timmins website.
Residents are reminded to have their material at the curb no more than two (2) days prior to their collection date. Collection crews will only do one (1) pass through each area. It’s also important to review the list of banned materials. Any materials not eligible for collection will not be picked up, and it will be the responsibility of the property owner to remove the items within 48 hours.
Before May 5, 2025, residents are asked to review the Curbside Bulk Item Collection information at: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/waste_recycling_services/residential_curbside_bulk_item_collection_program.
