It’s That Time Of Year Again! The BIG BIN EVENT is back so bring any large items that you have been itching to liberate from your home.

If you have furniture, yard waste, renovation materials, and electronics, then come on over.

In an effort to divert useful items from the landfill, we will also be running a freecycling event again this year. We are always happy to see unwanted items find a new life with someone else.

Items we cannot accept are:
Commercial Waste
Gas Powered Equipment (such as lawn mowers and snow blowers)
Household hazardous waste (such as automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals, paint or stains or other hazardous items)

We also ask that you take tires and appliances such as fridges, freezers, dishwashers, and washer/dryers to an Eco Station.

A Strathcona Centre Community League membership is required to participate.
Bring your membership cards or verify with our membership list on site. If you don’t have one or want to renew, we can do that onsite.
Memberships are Family-$20, Single-$15, Senior-$5.
You can also purchase a membership through the link in our bio.

Saturday June 13, 2026
Time: 10:00am to 3:00pm

I have met hundreds and hundreds of kids and have felt honoured every time a parent has entrusted me with their child’s art education.”
