Quick answer for Summerland

The District of Summerland 2026 Solid Waste Fees and Charges schedule expressly accepts mattresses and box springs at Summerland Sanitary Landfill for $20 per unit (any size), deposited in the designated area. The same schedule shows white goods at no charge where producer-responsibility conditions and designated-area sorting requirements are met. A curbside mattress pickup program was not established by the official source checks.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The District of Summerland maintains an address-based garbage/recycling/organics calendar and an item-search tool. Regular curbside collection does not establish that a mattress, sofa or white goods can be left loose beside a cart. Look up the specific item and collection address before setting it out.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The Summerland Sanitary Landfill and Recycling Depot is at 17202 Bathville Road. The District lists 8:30 a.m.–4:15 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with closures Sunday, statutory holidays and Boxing Day; it warns of possible additional environmental closures.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Electronic waste, some residential household hazardous products, paint, propane tanks, and white goods are listed as separate materials under the published 2026 fee schedule, in designated areas with qualifying stewardship restrictions. Construction/demolition materials and asbestos-type wastes follow separate handling and charges.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The February 10, 2026 District fee schedule lists $20 per mattress or box spring; white goods have no charge if they meet the specified program conditions. It lists ordinary refuse at $125/tonne with a $5 minimum and a separate bulky-waste category at $210/tonne with a $50 minimum. Do not assume furniture automatically qualifies for one of those categories without confirming on site.

What still needs a last check

Furniture drop-off category, appliance with refrigerant requirements, and any special-event curbside collection must be confirmed before transport. The verified $20 mattress fee applies to the designated landfill route, not to a private hauler or curbside pickup.

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

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.
