Burnaby Spring Clean-Up Day

Have a garage, shed, attic or basement to clean out? Our third annual Spring Clean-up Day is your free, one-stop drop-off to get a jump start on your home clean-up!

For 1 day, we’re inviting you to drop off any kind of household junk you’ve got at the Still Creek Works Yard—even items we don’t normally accept! On May 30, bring your hard-to-dispose items to the Still Creek Works Yard (across from the Eco-Centre) and we’ll recycle what we can, and divert the rest into the appropriate waste stream at no charge.

This is the perfect time to get rid of some of that clutter around your home, including items that would normally need to be taken to a Metro Vancouver facility and be charged a fee for disposal. Bring us items like:

Mattresses
Old furniture
Scrap metal and appliances (big and small)
Bagged garbage
Recyclables (cardboard, mixed paper, mixed containers, etc.)
Paints, solvents, aerosol cans
Electronics
Batteries (household, car)
Many other categories of household junk!

Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver will be on-site accepting donations of gently-used clothing and household items to support local youth mentorship programs, empowering children to reach their potential. Potential donation items include:

Reusable clean clothes (bagged) – to be donated
Reusable books (bagged) – to be donated
Gently-used appliances and housewares in good condition.

See the full list of items which are eligible for donation

Event tips

When packing items into your vehicle, keep your items grouped for easy sorting. Pack garbage, recyclable items, and reusable items (like clothes and books) for donation separately.
Have your Burnaby residence information available – for example, your driver’s license, or a utility bill with a Burnaby address.
Follow event signage and staff direction to get in and out quickly.

Getting into the Works Yard

Our staff will be controlling the flow of traffic on Still Creek Drive to allow as many vehicles as possible to enter the Works Yard and begin to queue and drop off.
- Note that street parking on Still Creek Drive, Still Creek Avenue, and Eastbrook Parkway is unavailable or reserved for Costco patrons. Staff will also be present on these streets to help guide vehicles to the Junk Day queue.
Our staff will check your Burnaby residency while your vehicle is queueing, and direct you to your unloading area. You'll need to unload your vehicle yourself, but our staff can assist with sorting your items.
