Large item collection will be taking place across participating communities in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) during the month of April.

Large Item Collection is part of local government curbside collection programs in Penticton, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and rural RDOS Areas A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I. On the designated collection day, participating homes can place out a maximum of two items. Eligible items are furniture, large appliances and mattresses. Check local curbside collection calendars for more details on items collected in each community.

Common materials that will not be collected include building materials, toilets, hot water tanks, electronics, carpets, gas or battery powered equipment or other similar materials. Residents can contact the RDOS for information on recycling and safe disposal options for any of these materials.

Residents should have items to the curb by 7 am on their designated collection day. If an item is not collected by the end of the collection day, residents should call and leave a message for Waste Connections of Canada at 250-490-3888 or toll free 1-866-998-4888.
