Chapleau junk disposal and bulky items

Current disposal decision: mattress, box spring or sofa in Chapleau

Choose the correct route: The Township operates its landfill on Highway 129. Public hours: Tuesday–Friday 10 a.m.–2 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; closed Sundays, Mondays and holidays. Its published 2026 minimum charge is $6 with qualifying proof of residency within town limits and $12 otherwise. A full pickup-box load is $12 for qualifying residents versus $24 without qualifying proof.

Bulky item decision: For furniture, mattresses or box springs, first call 705-864-1334 for item permission: the Township explicitly reserves discretion to refuse any material, and a 2026 posted load fee does not waive that rule. Bring government photo ID plus proof of your in-town address when required for discounted rates. Request written approval before bringing a large quantity of waste. Debit, Visa, Mastercard and landfill tokens are listed payment options.

Other material streams: The Township separately lists free tire and electronic drop-off plus refrigerant removal fees for appliances. Household hazardous chemicals are not ordinary landfill refuse.

Operator verification: 705-864-1334 — ask whether the exact item is currently accepted, and which fee applies.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Chapleau provides roadside garbage pickup. Its ordinary collection schedule does not confirm collection of a sofa, mattress or other oversized furniture. Do not place these items at the curb without authorization.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

Municipal landfill: Highway 129. The Town posts Tuesday–Friday 10 a.m.–2 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; closed Sunday, Monday and holidays. The attendant can refuse material. For unusual large loads call Public Works at 705-864-1334.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Tires and electronics are listed as free at the landfill. Refrigerant-removal fees are $50 for fridges/freezers/air conditioners and $25 for water coolers or dehumidifiers. Hazardous chemicals need a separate authorized disposal route.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

Chapleau’s 2026 user-fee table specifies a $6 minimum for eligible in-town residents and $12 otherwise; a full standard pickup box up to 8 ft is $12 in-town/$24 general. The same 2026 table lists a small utility trailer at $8 for an eligible in-town resident or $16 at the general rate, and a half-load in an 8–14 ft trailer at $22 in-town or $44 general. These are published load-class rates, not guarantees that mattresses or upholstered furniture will be admitted. A government-issued photo ID with address is mandatory for the town rate; if the ID does not show an address, bring a matching municipal-tax, utility or other address document. Debit, Visa, Mastercard and tokens are accepted. Charges apply by load class only to materials the Township permits; large quantities require prior written authorization. Do not confuse these Chapleau rates with similarly named Chapple Township fees.

October 14, 2026 — operator-level verification checkpoint

The Township posts the Highway 129 landfill’s regular public hours as Tuesday–Friday 10 a.m.–2 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Its 2026 minimum fee is $6 for eligible residents with proof of address and $12 otherwise; posted payment methods include debit, Visa, Mastercard and tokens. These are general landfill conditions, not authorization to bring mattresses or sofas.

Before disposal: Before driving, call Chapleau Public Works at 705-864-1334 and ask: “Will you accept a single mattress, box spring or upholstered couch; if yes, under which vehicle/load class; what material separation or advance approval applies?” Bring government-issued photo ID and matching address evidence if claiming the resident rate.
