How to dispose of common items in Iqaluit

Mattresses have been included in Iqaluit residential large-item pickup events. If no event is active, confirm the landfill route rather than leaving a mattress beside ordinary garbage.
Appliances and special items
Large appliances can be eligible for announced residential pickup programs, but electronics, batteries and several hazardous products must be kept separate from regular garbage.
Renovation debris
Construction debris is not part of the residential large-item pickup program and follows the municipal landfill route. Separate debris by material and check current landfill instructions before arrival.
