Get ready Mission, it’s time to clean out your homes.
Spring Cleanup will run for two weeks from May 7 to May 18.
During this time, single-family residents can put out an additional two cubic metres of waste (a cubic meter is about six garbage bags, or one stove or one armchair) on their regular garbage collection day during this period.
Material must be at the curb by 8 a.m. and must be secure and manageable by two people.
Anything beyond that limit will be left behind. Any leftover debris must be cleaned up promptly.
Residents should check their regular garbage collection day on their curbside collection calendar or visit mission.ca/waste-management or add the My-Waste app to their smartphone.
Unacceptable Items:
Items that will not be picked up during the Spring Clean up event include:
Construction, demolition and renovation waste including drywall, flooring, cabinetry, lumber, fencing, roofing, bricks, rocks, toilets, sinks and windows.
Hazardous materials and liquids including toxic, flammable, corrosive and petroleum products, needles, animal waste, paint, pesticides, used oil and antifreeze and fluorescent lights.
Electronic and automotive parts including TVs, computers, monitors, printers, tires and batteries.
