Background
City Council reviewed the Spring Clean-Up Program and decided that it needed to be improved to become more cost-effective, meet the requirements for a clean community, and provide more timely service to residents. Council approved the replacement of the longtime Spring Clean-Up Program with an enhanced year round Large Item Service (LIS).
What does the Large Item Service offer?
The City of Lethbridge offers the Large Item Service program as a choice for residents to manage their bulky household waste that is too large for removal during regular weekly collection, such as: couches, mattresses, stoves, dishwashers, etc. The Large Item Service program allows residents to choose to schedule two collections per year, a minimum of three months apart, at their convenience.
How much will you pick up?
Each pick-up will include a combination of items not to exceed a total weight of 250kgs or 550lbs with a maximum of 10 standard sized residential bags (not to exceed 25kgs each) and/or 5 large items. These amounts are general guidelines. When you call to schedule your pick-up, a scheduler will assist you and answer any questions relating to the Large Item Service.
How many pick-ups can I schedule?
Each utility customer can schedule a maximum of two pick-ups per year with three months between collection requests. These limits are set to manage demand in peak season and to ensure all residential utility customers have access to the same level of service. The scheduler will do their best to ensure your needs are met.
