How to dispose

There are three ways to dispose of plumbing parts and pipes depending on whether you have small or large quantities.

Small quantities of plumbing parts

  • Put into your black cart

Put small quantities of plumbing parts into your black cart as garbage.

Pieces must be less than:

  • 15 cm (six inches) in diameter
  • 1.25 m (four feet) in length
  • Make sure the lid of the cart can close

Large quantities of plumbing parts

  • Take to a City Eco Centre

Take large quantities of old and used plumbing parts to a City Eco Centre for disposal – charges will apply.

  • If you separate out metal-specific parts, they can go in metal recycling.

  • Take to a special drop-off location

Take scrap metal to a participating retailer for recycling. Some private companies may buy scrap metal, charge a fee or accept items for free. Find options at The Yellow Pages under Metal Recycling or contact these local metal recyclers:
