Oversized and large metal items, as well as appliances, require a tag and scheduled collection
Oversized items—furniture, mattresses, box springs, plastic lawn furniture, toilets, carpeting, and more—require an orange ‘bulk item’ sticker.
Large metal items—appliances, barbecues, bed frames, furnaces, hot water heaters, metal bathtubs, storage sheds and bicycles—require a pink ‘white goods (appliances)' sticker.
How it works
Beginning January 2026, large item collection in King Township will follow a scheduled, call-in process, similar to the system already in place for appliances and large metal items.
Oversized item and large metal item pick-up requires the following:
Residents must call GFL (Green for Life Environmental) at 1-866-421-5625 to schedule a large item pick-up in advance of your collection day.
Requests must be received no later than 11:00 a.m. on Monday of your garbage week to ensure collection on your regular garbage day.
A maximum of five (5) items will be collected per pick-up. Each item requires the relevant tag.
Items must be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day.
Bulk item tags and appliance tags cost $15 each and may be purchased online or in-person at the Trisan Centre, Zancor Centre, and the King Township Municipal Centre.
