Quick answer for Swan River

Discarded furniture, discarded household equipment and oversize items are expressly excluded from weekly regular municipal collection under the Town waste bylaw. Residents should arrange approved self-haul disposal via the regional landfill or any explicitly announced special program.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The Town of Swan River has address/zone-specific household garbage days and specifies containers, generally a maximum of two residential containers, set out by 7:30 a.m. The current Town garbage and recycling calendar should determine your area.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

Swan Valley Landfill is listed by the Town with summer and winter schedules: May–October weekdays 10 a.m.–7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; November–April weekdays 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Closed Sundays and statutory holidays.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Dedicated recycling and battery streams are available; do not leave batteries, liquids, hazardous material, or large furniture beside household carts. The landfill contractor determines the receiving material category.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The 2026 landfill tipping schedule, effective July 2, lists resident household-waste minimum $11 and resident general household rate $99/tonne. These are not guaranteed fees for every bulky or special waste load; the contractor has final category authority.

What still needs a last check

The landfill schedule contains resident and non-resident categories and additional rates for demolition, asbestos and other materials. Confirm your residency and item classification with the Town before visiting.

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.
