It’s time! The Annual Treasure Hunt and Large Item Pickup are here, yet again. The Treasure Hunt begins on May 4 and lasts until May 6. At this time, residents are encouraged to discard of any unwanted household items, and ‘hunt’ for new treasures on their neighbours’ curbs. From May 7 to 11, the Town will collect a variety of items as part of the Large Item Pickup.

Household Items That Will Be Collected:

●Household furniture, washers, dryers, and kitchen appliances

• Fridges and freezers must be empty.

●Small equipment like lawn mowers and hedge trimmers

• Oil and gas must be removed.

●Barbeques

●Bicycles and dismantled exercise equipment

Household Items That Will Not Be Collected:

●Mattresses

●Tires, vehicle parts, motors, engines

●Railroad ties

●Construction and home demolition materials

●Household, electronic, and hazardous waste

Mayor William Choy says, “The Treasure Hunt & Large Item Pickup are two of the many events we host throughout the year to help residents reduce, reuse, and recycle. Like last year, we’re continuously working towards our waste diversion goal of 60%.” Choy continues, “Participating in the Treasure Hunt, in particular, is a fantastic way to help us achieve this goal. Remember, Don’t Just Trash It!”

Residents are reminded to only ‘hunt’ for items located on their neighbours’ curbs. Items on the driveway or lawn are not part of the Treasure Hunt.
