Seasonal Clean-up

Fall 2025 Curbside Clean Up

Each Spring and Fall, the Town of Peace River organizes a Town-wide large item pickup for residential utility customers only.

This year’s Fall Curbside Clean Up will run September 22 to 26, 2025.

How It Works

  • Place your items at the front of your property, where they are easily accessible from the road (this includes back-alley customers).
  • Have items out by 7:00 a.m. on September 22 and leave them in place until collected. Crews collect different waste types at different times.
  • All items must fit within a 2m x 4m area on your yard, weigh less than 200 lbs, and be less than 3m in length.
  • Keep at least 1m clearance on all sides of your garbage cart.
  • Items that pose safety risks (e.g., wood with excessive nails, hazardous materials) will not be collected.
  • Please tag certain items (basketball and hockey nets, lawnmowers, wheelbarrows, rain barrels, bicycles, etc.) so crews know they are out for collection.

Large Item Limit

  • Two large items per household.
  • Large items include appliances and bulky furniture.
  • Yard waste (branches, leaves, grass) and bundled construction materials (wood, drywall, flooring) are collected separately and do not count toward the two-item limit.

Accepted Items

  • Appliances: stoves, washers, dryers; fridges, freezers, and air conditioners accepted only if tagged free of refrigerants by an approved technician – untagged units will not be collected.
  • Furniture: couches, chairs, mattresses, box springs, tables, etc.
  • Sinks and toilets.
  • Barbecues (tanks must be removed).
  • Lawn and garden equipment: mowers, snowblowers, wheelbarrows, rain barrels (all fluids must be drained).
  • Lawn furniture.
  • Bicycles, hockey nets, basketball nets (disassembled where possible).
  • Tree trimmings (cut to 2m lengths, bundled with twine).
  • Leaves and grass (in clear bags).
  • Wood, drywall, flooring (bundled or neatly piled, with minimal nails).

Not Accepted

  • Electronics (TVs, stereos, computers, printers, etc.).
  • Car parts.
  • Batteries of any kind.
  • Tires.
  • Snowmobiles or swing sets (assembled).
  • Propane tanks.
  • Very Large Items: anything greater than 3m in length or weighing more than 200 lbs.

(Electronics and batteries can be taken to the Eco Centre. Contact them directly for accepted items and recycling options.)
