LOCAL DISPOSAL OPTIONS
How to dispose of common items in Chatham-Kent
Appliances and special items
Appliances are not eligible for Chatham-Kent's quarterly curbside bulk-item collection. Take appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, freezers and washing machines to a waste depot or use another proper disposal route. Confirm the exact route in Recycle Coach before travelling.
Drywall and renovation debris
Renovation debris is best routed to the appropriate waste depot or licensed hauler; the quarterly program is intended for eligible household bulk items.
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Mattresses and large furniture should be registered through the quarterly bulk-item request system rather than left curbside outside the booked window.
