A quick heads-up

We take almost everything — with a few exceptions

Furniture, appliances, electronics, renovation debris, hot tubs — if it fits in our truck, we’ll haul it. The only things we can’t take are hazardous or regulated materials that need special handling. It’s not us being picky — these items are illegal to landfill and unsafe to transport with regular junk. Here’s the full list, plus where to take them instead.

Where to take these in Halifax

Most of these can be dropped off at HRM’s Household Special Waste depot — it’s built to handle exactly this kind of material safely. Here’s where to go.

📍 Household Special Waste (HSW) Depot
20 Horseshoe Lake Dr., Bayers Lake, Halifax
  • 🗓️ Open most Saturdays, 9 AM – 4 PM (closed when Saturday collection is bumped for a holiday or storm)
  • 🚗 Drive-in only — no walk-ups, for safety
  • 🏠 HRM residents only — business waste isn’t accepted (businesses use a private hazardous-waste handler)
  • ☎️ Questions? Call 311

The depot takes most of what we can’t — paint, gasoline, motor oil, antifreeze, solvents, pesticides, aerosols, propane tanks, batteries, lightbulbs and more.

HRM also runs mobile HSW drop-off events around the community through the year. See HRM’s schedule & sign up for reminders →

A few things the HSW depot doesn’t take either: medical waste & sharps, asbestos and radioactive materials (contact Nova Scotia Environment). Old electronics go to recyclemyelectronics.ca. Old fridges, freezers & AC units? That’s us →

Almost everything else? We take it.

Furniture, appliances, fridges & freezers, mattresses, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, whole cleanouts — one item or a full property. See the full list of what we haul away.
