Annual Special Collection Event: Bulky Metal
Metal Collection is an annual "special collection" event that occurs each spring.
2024 dates: June 10 - 21
Your metal items will be collected on the same day as your regular bi-weekly organics & recycling collection.
There is no limit to the number of metal pieces placed curbside, but some restrictions do apply:
⚙️ Must be at least 70% metal
⚙️ No single item is to exceed 1.22 m (4 feet) in length & 70 kg (155 lbs) in weight (note: large items can be cut in half)
⚙️ Oil tanks must be empty and cut in half
⚙️ Small items (hardware, nails, nuts, bolts etc.) should be contained
⚙️ NO large springs, electronics, small appliances, pots/pans, or propane tanks (search proper disposal here: https://westhants.ca/waste-app.html)
⚙️ Fridge, A/C units & freezers must have chemicals safely removed by a professional and include a "CFC Removed" sticker for curbside collection
⚙️ Washers, water tanks, BBQs, & lawnmowers are accepted
Alternatively, metal can be brought to the West Hants Landfill, (free of charge!), year-round. Learn more here: https://westhants.ca/landfill-waste.html
