Core local routes verified against official municipal/regional sources. Check the live operator notice for your address, item and fee before set-out or travel.

Quick answer for Tofino

For mattress and box-spring disposal, use the ACRD West Coast Landfill drop-off route, not Tofino regular curbside bins. A couch may have a different disposal classification or fee.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Tofino states that the ACRD, rather than the District, sets and operates household garbage, recycling and organics collection under local rules and the official address-specific calendar.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The ACRD West Coast Landfill at 1500 Alaska Pine Road serves West Coast residents. The official page documents tipping categories and additional sorting and handling requirements.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Waste that is hazardous, recyclable or requires special handling must be separated. Tofino also enforces wildlife-attractant controls; leaving garbage or furniture exposed outside permitted procedures can create nuisance and safety problems.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The current dated October 1, 2026 ACRD amendment lists $30 for each residential mattress or box spring taken to West Coast Landfill. Disregard the superseded $23 line still present in the online fee table.

What still needs a last check

Confirm the pickup eligibility for your property, West Coast Landfill hours and additional fees for non-mattress furniture or construction material.

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.
