Antigonish junk disposal and bulky items

Where to take furniture, mattresses, appliances and household waste in Antigonish — with local pickup and drop-off rules kept separate.

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 Antigonish

The Town publishes a 2026 SPRING bulky collection event (not a weekly bulky service). The Town explicitly lists sofas, mattresses, box springs, household furniture and selected appliances as accepted for its spring program. The spring event has already passed; do not claim another October pickup is scheduled.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Town of Antigonish household garbage and recyclables follow the local Eastern Region Solid Waste Management collection calendar. Check the property’s specific route and collection day.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The region’s Beech Hill Waste Management Facility is an alternative for accepted non-curbside items. Verify current tip rates, residency, material handling and opening times with the operator before travel.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Refrigerators and freezers in the special event require door/lid and refrigerant safety preparation. Electronics and hazardous materials should use their own safe-handling programs.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

No permanent no-charge furniture pickup was established from the Town’s dated spring 2026 public notice. Event date and requirements may be updated annually.

What still needs a last check

County of Antigonish schedules differ from the incorporated Town; do not copy the County’s 330-pound total and single-large-item limit into the Town guide without an applicable Town source.

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.
