How to dispose of common items in Kelowna
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Mattresses are handled as a special bulky category rather than normal cart garbage. Check the current landfill or depot fee and whether the box spring is counted separately.
Couches and large furniture
Furniture that cannot be reused may be accepted as garbage at an authorized facility. Large mixed loads are normally weighed, so separating metal and other recyclable pieces can change the route and cost.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
Large appliances and refrigerant appliances should be declared separately. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners can have special handling fees because refrigerant must be recovered.
Drywall and renovation debris
Glenmore Landfill uses material categories for construction waste. Separate drywall, concrete, asphalt shingles, clean wood, metal and mixed waste, and verify asbestos controls for suspect older material.
Does your property type change the answer?
Apartment and condo waste is often managed through a private contractor or strata. Ask before placing anything in a loading area or beside shared bins.
