Quick answer for Carleton Place

The Town explicitly accepts large household articles for scheduled curbside garbage collection only when FOUR Town garbage stickers are attached per item. It gives couches, chairs and mattresses as examples. Appliances also need four stickers, and refrigerant-bearing appliances must be decommissioned and tagged by a certified technician.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Carleton Place allows one untagged regular garbage bag each week in ordinary participating households. Additional regular garbage bags require $3 stickers. Collection starts by 7 a.m.; multi-residential participating buildings with five or more units have different sticker provisions.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The Town identifies a paid transfer station at 9271 Cavanagh Road for material beyond curbside rules (check hours/fees via 613-257-1195). Items longer than 2.0 m, exceeding 100 kg, or large quantities of renovation waste are not acceptable for curbside collection.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Household hazardous waste and electronics use separate programs; construction waste is allowed only under the Town’s strict small-size/weight rules. Refrigerant appliances cannot be sent without certified decommissioning.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

At the stated $3 per tag, four tags imply $12 per accepted large household item; verify current sticker price before purchase. A large item does NOT qualify for the one free regular bag; separate stickers are required.

What still needs a last check

Limit by object weight/length and whether a property participates in the Town collection program. Some transfer-station materials have separate fees and hazardous items are excluded.

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.

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.
