Quick answer for Port McNeill

Port McNeill households have a documented self-haul route for mattresses and upholstered furniture at the Regional District of Mount Waddington’s 7 Mile Landfill. Its 2026 adopted tipping bylaw prices mattresses and upholstered furniture at $16 each, maximum four items. This does not mean loose furniture is accepted in ordinary Town curbside collection.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The Town’s published 2026 garbage and recycling service has alternating Wednesday collection; routine collection is not a free mattress or sofa pickup. Bookings, exemptions and apartment-property collection differ from landfill access.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

RDMW lists 7 Mile Landfill & Recycling Centre at 7000 Highway 19 and phone 250-949-1681. Published hours: weekdays 9 a.m.–4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m. (no commercial dumping Saturday); closed Sunday and statutory holidays. The regional bylaw specifically includes mattresses and upholstered furniture as an accepted charged class.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

The new 2026 7 Mile bylaw separates mattresses/upholstered furniture from ordinary refuse. Scrap-metal appliances and refrigerant units have different categories or handling. Never put appliances with refrigerant, hazardous chemicals or recycling into a sofa/mattress load without checking the station.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

Bylaw 1062, effective April 1, 2026, sets a $16 EACH fee for mattresses/upholstered furniture, maximum four items. The bylaw also says materials with fees have a minimum scaled charge of $7.50; ask the operator whether that minimum is applied separately to an item-based visit.

What still needs a last check

Confirm any contamination, larger-than-normal furniture or more than four items, residency, payment method and holiday exceptions with 7 Mile at 250-949-1681. The $16 figure comes from the 2026 signed bylaw; do not confuse it with regional mattress recycling feasibility studies.

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.
