Surrey residents can drop off up to 100kg of waste for free at two local centres from May to September—part of a city-wide push for cleaner communities.
Spring cleanups and summer decluttering just got easier for Surrey residents, as the City brings back its Free Waste Drop-Off program for 2025. Running from May 5 to September 24, households can dispose of up to 100 kilograms of waste—including large items like mattresses—at no charge at two local recycling and waste centres.
Participating sites include:
- Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre (6711 – 154 St.)
- North Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre (9770 – 192 St.)
Each household is eligible for one free trip, and proof of Surrey residency is required.
A Proven Success in Reducing Illegal Dumping
“Getting rid of unwanted waste is easier than ever with this program,” said Mayor Brenda Locke, noting the success of last year’s launch, which saw 3,300 tonnes of waste responsibly disposed of.
“We’re making it convenient and affordable to keep Surrey clean and reduce illegal dumping,” she added.
Whether it’s spring cleaning, summer yard makeovers, or preparing for the back-to-school season, residents now have five full months to take advantage of this initiative.
Here’s What You Need to Know
- Weight limit: First 100kg is free; standard fees apply beyond that.
- Eligibility: One trip per household; proof of address required.
- Not allowed: Commercial and business vehicles.

- Miscellaneous bulky items
Sustainability in Action
“These programs are designed to make responsible waste management more accessible for everyone,” said Harry Janda, Surrey’s Manager of Solid Waste. “With two recycling centres and curbside service, there’s no excuse for illegal dumping.”
Residents are also encouraged to explore more eco-conscious options through the city’s broader Rethink Waste campaign
