Quick answer for Three Hills

The Town landfill expressly lists mattresses and box springs as an individually priced material. Residents can bring accepted sorted materials to the landfill instead of using the curbside service.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The Town of Three Hills operates regular household garbage collection. Standard waste collection must not be mistaken for permission to place large loose furniture beside the curbside bin.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The Town landfill is south of Three Hills on Range Road 24-1. Secure all loads; separate lumber, metal and yard waste from household garbage and follow the staff-designated receiving areas.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

The landfill has a separate recycling area and accepts certain battery materials through designated programs. Do not mix lithium batteries with landfill garbage.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The Town fee schedule effective July 1, 2026 lists mattresses or box springs at $25 each for residents and $45 for non-residents. It also lists a residential flat minimum of $15 up to 300 kg, according to load classification; do not assume the mattress charge includes or excludes every other charge.

What still needs a last check

Confirm current operating hours, proof-of-residency criteria and the final combination of fees with the landfill attendant before delivery.

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

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