Quick answer for Port Hardy

For bulky furniture, a mattress or major appliance, the Town advises residents to confirm acceptance at Fox’s transfer station or 7 Mile Regional Landfill before bringing an item. Municipal extra-garbage tickets cover extra ordinary containers, not unlimited bulky pieces.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The District of Port Hardy uses a contractor, Fox’s Disposal Ltd, to collect household garbage and recycling from eligible homes; larger multifamily buildings and businesses may need separate agreements. Use the 2026 municipal calendar.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

Fox’s Disposal transfer station is at 5990 Steel Road in Port Hardy and takes residential and selected construction/household waste for a drop-off fee. The 7 Mile Landfill lies seven miles south of Port Hardy on Highway 19. Facility staff determine acceptance.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

The Town directs hazardous and construction material away from ordinary curbside garbage. Fox’s transfer station describes separate no-charge receiving for specified appliances, metal, propane tanks and similar recyclables; confirm current eligibility.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

Fox’s lists a small residential drop-off fee but no universal per-mattress rate in the Town overview. 7 Mile tipping fees are governed by the Regional District of Mount Waddington.

What still needs a last check

Call Fox’s Disposal or 7 Mile Landfill before drop-off for the exact sofa or mattress and up-to-date rate; do not infer item-specific free acceptance.

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.
