Quick answer for Barrhead

The Barrhead Regional Landfill is the appropriate regional location to ask about bulky furniture and mattresses. County transfer stations specifically exclude furniture, mattresses, treated lumber and demolition material, referring these non-burnable materials to the regional landfill; do not haul them to an unsuitable transfer site.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The Town of Barrhead says household garbage must be bagged and set out by 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection day. Hazardous items such as oil, paint and car batteries are excluded from routine curbside garbage. Holiday collections may shift.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The Town identifies the Barrhead Regional Landfill at 60009 Range Road 43, west of town. It lists Tuesday opening 11 a.m.–7 p.m. and Wednesday–Saturday 11 a.m.–5 p.m., closed Sunday, Monday and statutory holidays. The County independently identifies it as available to town and county residents.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Refrigerator/freezer and other refrigerant-containing appliances must have refrigerant removed and display the proper sticker before acceptance. Used oil collection is restricted to Thursday. County transfer-site take-it-or-leave-it programs are limited and do not accept mattresses.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The Town and County state residential household garbage can be dropped at the Barrhead Regional Landfill without a charge. Demolition material is charged separately; the Town posted $40 per pickup load and $60 per pickup-and-trailer load in its January 2025 fee table. These are not blanket fees for mattresses or all mixed furniture loads.

What still needs a last check

Confirm the exact material classification for upholstered furniture/mattresses and current scale fees with the Town (780-674-3301); the Town landfill page is not a comprehensive mattress pricing schedule.

Waste and recycling rules can vary by building type, address, operator and material. Large items should not be left at the curb unless your applicable collection program explicitly authorizes them. Facility acceptance is different from curbside acceptance.

Before you load a truck or place an item outside

Check whether municipal or regional service applies to your property.
Identify the item’s exact stream: mattress, furniture, major appliance, metal, hazardous waste, construction material or ordinary household refuse.
Check the official fee, facility hours and any required booking or advance approval.
Secure your load and follow facility instructions for separation or special handling.
