Big Bin Events do not accept items for reuse. Give your items a second life by bringing them to the Reuse Centre or a donation centre. Use the Reuse Directory to find a donation centre near you. Also consider listing your items online or gifting them to friends and family.
Big Bin Events are hosted by the City, but grants are available to organizations wishing to host their own community drop-off event. Learn more about the Community Clean Up Grant Program.
