Quick answer for Blind River

The Town offers a REQUESTED monthly bulk pickup, generally on the third Monday (2026 dates published). Residents must submit the specific item list and pay the collection fee at the municipal office by noon on the Friday before the pickup. Bulk service excludes renovation waste, hazardous items and improperly decommissioned refrigeration appliances.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Blind River has regular household refuse collection on Thursdays through GFL, with a two-bag weekly limit at 20 kg per bag and set-out by 6 a.m. Oversize objects do not qualify as ordinary household bags.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The municipal landfill is at 1182 Highway 17 and has separate disposal rules. For an intact mattress the Town lists a $50 landfill charge; it also describes a zero-fee route if the mattress is fully disassembled and separated as instructed. Do not treat the disassembly option as free pickup.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Appliances containing refrigerants require licensed technician decommissioning before the Town handles them. Household hazardous waste is not accepted at the landfill; consult a valid separate collection announcement.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The Town currently lists a $35.50 base fee per requested bulk collection PLUS any material-specific disposal charges. This is not $35.50 per sofa or a flat all-inclusive rate. The Town itself gives older/example item fees; confirm the actual item charge when booking.

What still needs a last check

Advance booking is mandatory. The published 2026 collection dates, deadlines and types control, and an item not included on the request list may be refused. Mattress fees vary greatly by whether it is disassembled.

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.
