You are currently viewing Old Couch? Broken Fridge? Here’s How to Dispose of Large Items in Kamloops

If you’ve got an old couch taking up space, a broken fridge in the garage, or any other large household item you need to get rid of, you might be wondering: How do I dispose of bulky junk in Kamloops?

Good news. You’ve got options. Whether you want to do it yourself or hire help, this blog will walk you through how to properly and affordably dispose of large items in Kamloops.

Option 1: Curbside Collection (Limited Availability)

Kamloops’ curbside garbage collection does not include large or bulky items like mattresses, appliances, or furniture. However, you may be able to schedule a special pick-up through the city or use spring clean-up events in some neighborhoods. These services are limited, so it’s a good idea to contact the City of Kamloops Public Works for details.

Option 2: Drop-Off at a Landfill or Transfer Station

If you have access to a truck and don’t mind some heavy lifting, you can drop off your items yourself.

Where to go:

  • Kamloops Waste Management Centre
    960 Bunker Rd, Kamloops, BC
  • Barnhartvale Landfill (for some yard waste and smaller loads)

Make sure to check their operating hours, fees, and accepted items before you go. You may need to separate your load by type, such as wood, metal, or electronics.

Option 3: Donate Gently Used Items

If your old couch or appliance still works, consider donating it instead of throwing it away.

Donation options in Kamloops include:

  • The Salvation Army Thrift Store
  • Habitat for Humanity ReStore
  • SPCA Thrift Store
  • Kamloops United Church Thrift Shop

Always call ahead. Some locations may offer free pick-up, while others have restrictions on item condition or size.
