How to dispose of common items in Qualicum Beach
Mattresses, couches and household furniture
For furniture and household bulky material, check whether Church Road accepts the item before driving. The RDN specifically lists some bulky waste as Regional Landfill-only, so very large or restricted items may need the Nanaimo-area landfill rather than Church Road.
Appliances, electronics, paint, propane and other special items
Both RDN facilities have diversion areas for recyclable materials such as garden waste and scrap metal. Special/controlled materials must follow the RDN accepted-material table rather than being mixed into garbage.
Renovation, construction and yard debris
Both facilities handle designated construction/demolition streams, but the material matters: for example, gypsum is accepted at Church Road while some controlled/bulky material is Regional Landfill-only. Sort renovation loads before leaving Qualicum Beach.
