The City of Ottawa now offers a weekly appliance pick-up program.  Pickups will be made by request only.  Click here for the rules regarding what will or will not be picked up.

Pickups are on Wednesdays.  Anyone who has metal appliances or items that are essentially metal to dispose of MUST first contact City Hall to request a pickup:

Call: 815-433-0161, extension #38
or E-mail: appliancepickup@cityofottawa.org 
or Fax:   815-433-2344

All requests received before 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays of each week will be picked up on Wednesdays.   Callers will be asked to provide their name, address, daytime phone number and type of metal item(s) to be picked up.   Items must be available for pickup by 8:00 a.m. that Wednesday.  DO NOT PLACE ITEMS ON THE BERM.

Anyone wishing to have an appliance or metal item removed from a basement or second floor location may call Alice at Ace Auto, 1-815-442-8224, to make arrangements directly.  Ace Auto does charge a small fee for removals that involve climbing stairs. 

All items will be recycled.
