Quick answer for Ucluelet

A mattress or box spring can be taken to the ACRD West Coast Landfill under its recycling and disposal program. The municipal curbside cart schedule is NOT a special furniture pickup program.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Ucluelet household collection is managed under the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) Sort’nGo arrangements. Eligible homes use separate organics, garbage and recycling carts with an address-based schedule; larger or excluded properties may need private service.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

West Coast Landfill is at 1500 Alaska Pine Road and accepts specifically categorized loads according to ACRD rules. Call or review the current official site for hours, sorting and controlled-waste requirements.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Loads containing controlled, hazardous, organic or otherwise divertible materials can attract surcharges or rejection. Construction waste, chemicals, scrap electronics and other recyclables must be presented to their separate streams.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The ACRD states that, effective October 1, 2026, residential mattress and box-spring drop-off at West Coast Landfill costs $30 per unit. The same page still contains an older $23 line; the dated October increase controls.

What still needs a last check

Confirm that the selected item is accepted and the current charge before visiting. Do not treat ACRD’s commercial pickup arrangements as residential municipal curbside collection.

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.
