How to dispose of common items in Charlottetown

Mattress and box-spring disposal

Mattresses and box springs are large-item waste. Confirm the Waste Watch route, applicable fee and whether the pieces must be delivered to a disposal centre.

Couches and large furniture

Unusable furniture should follow the IWMC large-item or facility route. Reusable items should be clean and accepted in advance by a charity or recipient.

Fridges, freezers and appliances

White goods, electronics, refrigerant appliances and propane cylinders belong in separate recovery streams. Use IWMC's sorting guide for the exact item.

Drywall and renovation debris

Construction and demolition debris is handled separately from residential cart waste and may require an approved C&D site or contractor.

Does your property type change the answer?

Apartment and commercial waste contracts can differ from household Waste Watch service. Ask the property manager which collection rules apply.
