Quick answer for Red Lake
The Municipality of Red Lake lists a $5 fee for each large individual item such as a couch, chair or mattress in its current municipal fee schedule. Take qualifying bulky items to the transfer station, not regular tagged-bag curbside garbage.
1. Mattresses, couches and chairs
The Municipality explicitly lists each couch, chair or mattress as a large individual item charged at $5. This is a drop-off fee category, not a promise of bulky curbside pickup. Check station access and opening hours before loading.
2. Ordinary curbside waste
Red Lake uses valid municipal bag tags for regular curbside garbage. Oversized furniture should not be treated as a tagged bag or placed beside the curb without a separate city instruction.
3. Other drop-off fees
The municipal fees page also lists $2.50 per ordinary bag, bundle or carton, $25 per load of construction material and $45 for equipment containing refrigerant. These are distinct categories; mixed loads can be charged differently.
4. Special waste separation
The transfer station has separate receiving rules for e-waste, metal, clean wood, tires and hazardous material. Household hazardous waste has its own Saturday window, not the regular curbside route. Confirm exact acceptance before taking unusual materials.
Before loading or arranging pickup
Official programs vary by address, building type and item. Check fees, opening hours, special handling and current event schedules with the cited authority before setting anything out or travelling to a facility.
