How to dispose of common items in Cornwall
Fees, free streams and limits
- Current examples: Mattress $15 each at the waste site; refrigerant white goods have a $25 surcharge; electronics and yard waste have no-charge routes. Household hazardous waste is free only on designated HHW depot dates. Residential minimum loads under 115 kg are $10 sorted or $15 unsorted.
Mattresses, couches and household furniture
The booked bulky service accepts mattresses, furniture and many appliances. Use the online booking rather than leaving unregistered items at the curb. Self-haul is available if the timing or item mix does not fit the monthly collection.
Appliances, electronics, paint, propane and other special items
Refrigerant appliances have an additional handling charge at the waste site. Electronics and yard waste have no-charge diversion routes. Household hazardous waste is accepted free only on designated HHW depot dates, so check the City schedule before travelling.
Renovation, construction and yard debris
Construction and renovation waste is not collected with Cornwall’s curbside bulky service; take it to the waste site instead. For residential loads under 115 kg, the current minimum is $10 when sorted and $15 when unsorted. Loads with too much recyclable or divertible material can receive a 50% surcharge, so sort the load before arrival.
Landfill fees and residency
Bring proof of Cornwall residency if requested. Mattresses and box springs are $15 each; CFC appliances have a $25 surcharge in addition to the minimum load charge. Household hazardous waste is accepted free only on scheduled depot dates.
