Free large item pickup in Surrey

We have a problem in Surrey, and you can help, we need you. Littering and dumping in the streets is getting out of control. This situation is a waste of taxpayers money and resources. There is no reason for people to throw cups, boxes, papers, cans, wrappers etc on the street. We need to educate people to show respect. Where do they think that garbage would go? What will happen to it?! It will not disappear. They need to understand we must keep streets clean, and pick up litter in front and around your homes. Regarding the disposal of large items, there is NO need to dump them on the street, parkings, schools, parks, etc. (tires, sofas, toilets, tv, etc) That is illegal and subject to fines. The City offers a FREE pick up service. For large items disposal, FREE pick up, call: City of Surrey, 604-590-7289 (then, option 3); or Progressive Waste, 604-636-3024 Now, for Christmas we expect many items will be thrown out, like old TV sets, monitors, computers, furniture, etc To realize the extent of the problem and see the many aspects of this issue/news, we invite you to visit: http://keepcanadaclean.blogspot.ca/p/project-ideas.html and "Alternative Disposal Sites & Programs", http://www.surrey.ca/city-services/4557.aspx Report a Problem or Submit a Request", http://www.surrey.ca/city-services/667.aspx
