Do you have an access of junk lying around, but don’t want to take an arduous and costly trip to the dump?

The City of Surrey allows residents to dispose of their unwanted items completely free of charge at the Pop-up Junk Drop events.

In 2015, illegal dumping cost Surrey roughly $1 million. As a result, the city hopes that the events will prevent this behaviour.

To gain entry, however, you must present a valid government issued identification that proves you are a Surrey resident. No valid ID means no entry.

Drop off any of the following accepted items:

Furniture & Mattresses: Couches, chairs, mattresses, and other household furniture
