Our FLIDO program allows you to dispose of specified large items at no cost. You can use a FLIDO any time the landfills are open.
How much is one FLIDO (opportunity)?
One FLIDO is the equivalent of one pickup truck load of qualifying large items:
- 1.78 cubic metres of approximately 2.44 metres X 1.22 metres X 0.6 metres OR
- 64 cubic feet of 8 feet X 4 feet X 2 feet.
What is a large item?
- indoor furniture (couches, chairs, tables, mattresses, home office furniture)
- carpet
- bathroom toilets and sinks
- refrigerators, freezers, dish washers, ovens, washing machines, dryers, air conditioners
All other items are considered household garbage and tipping fees will apply to disposal.
How can I use a FLIDO?
Simply take your qualifying large items to the landfill for disposal. Make sure that you have documentation with you that indicates you are a resident of Loyalist Township (Photo ID, tax bill) The landfill attendant will guide you through the disposal process.
How often can I use a FLIDO?
Every Township household has two FLIDO opportunities each year. Once you have used both your opportunities for the year, regular disposal fees will apply. The current tipping fee is $125/tonne, with a $15 minimum charge per visit. Household garbage does not qualify for FLIDO. Household garbage that has not been bagged and tagged will be subject to tipping fees as mentioned above.
Can someone else use a FLIDO on my behalf?
If someone is delivering “Large Items” on your behalf, you must first either visit in person or call the Loyalist Township Office (ext 116) to obtain an approval number that authorizes the landfill to accept the FLIDO on your behalf.
