How to dispose of common items in High River
Mattresses, couches and household furniture
Furniture and other large household junk should be taken to the Foothills Regional Landfill rather than placed outside High River’s garbage cart. The landfill uses a minimum charge for small waste loads, then weight-based rates above the threshold.
Appliances, electronics, paint, propane and other special items
The regional facility has no-charge collection streams for household hazardous waste, paint, used oil/filters, tires without rims and many electronics. Appliances are accepted, with a specific refrigerant-removal surcharge for cooling equipment.
Renovation, construction and yard debris
Construction waste belongs at the regional landfill rather than the curb cart or town recycling depot. Keep recyclable metal, wood and cardboard separated because the facility applies material-specific recycling fees and surcharges instead of treating every project load as one waste type.
