Torbay junk disposal and bulky items

Official local guidance for furniture, mattresses, appliances and household waste in Torbay — with pickup and disposal rules separated.

Bounded local rules were checked against official municipal/regional sources. Confirm your item and address with the operator.

Quick answer for Torbay

Torbay’s adopted 2026 bylaw provides for advertised spring and fall cleanup events, not unlimited large-item pickup. The May 28–30, 2026 drop-off and following week’s $25 pre-scheduled curbside pickup have already passed; check for a new announcement.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Ordinary Torbay garbage runs weekly Tuesday–Thursday by route with a five-bag household limit; recycling is biweekly. Check the official 2026 schedule for your address and have approved garbage out by 7 a.m.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The Town’s 2026 spring bulky event was held at the Infrastructure and Public Works Depot, 1 Pump House Road. This event location is not confirmation of permanent year-round bulky drop-off.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

The signed 2026 Waste Disposal By-Law provides that spring and fall cleanups will be advertised in advance with a curbside option at a set price. The May 2026 notice specified a $25 pickup for that event only.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

Do not treat the spring event’s $25 price as a live universal bulky pickup fee. Verify any 2026 fall schedule and current quoted price with Torbay Public Works.

What still needs a last check

Check Torbay’s current notice before bringing furniture to the depot or setting out a mattress; confirm exactly which items qualify for the next event.

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.
