Quick answer for Smiths Falls
The Town expressly permits certain large household articles including non-metal furniture when TWO $3 garbage tags are attached per item and it is set out by 7 a.m. on the regular collection day. Its separate metal goods collection occurs on the last Friday of each month unless the published calendar states otherwise.
1. What ordinary curbside collection covers
Smiths Falls collects ordinary garbage weekly by zone on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday through Glenview Iron & Metal; material goes out by 7 a.m. Two normal garbage bags per household are included each week; extra regular bags require $3 Town garbage tags.
2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route
Large non-metal furniture is part of Town qualified curbside collection when correctly stickered. Construction/renovation waste is NOT collected by the Town and should go to an appropriate private or waste-management receiving facility.
3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste
The Town lists e-waste drop-off alternatives and seasonal household hazardous waste access in Carleton Place; leftover paint, toxic liquids and batteries must not go into ordinary garbage or mixed furniture sets.
4. Charges, schedules and booking
Two $3 tags equal $6 per accepted large non-metal household item; regular extra bags have a $3 tag charge. Metal items and appliances can be subject to separate schedule and preparation rules, so verify item-specific treatment.
What still needs a last check
Not every oversized item qualifies for the two-tag large-furniture route. Exclude construction waste and verify metal/freon/appliance handling and special monthly dates first.
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.
Before you load a truck or place an item outside
- Check whether municipal or regional service applies to your property.
- 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.
