Baie-Comeau junk disposal and bulky items

Where to take furniture, mattresses, appliances and household waste in Baie-Comeau — with local pickup and drop-off rules kept separate.

Officially documented ecocentre mattress/furniture route; check address eligibility, charges and special handling before use. Selected facts checked October 13, 2026.

Quick answer for Baie-Comeau

MRC currently directs mattresses and furniture from its unorganized territory to the Baie-Comeau ecocentre; operator confirms staffed ecocentre address/hours. Regional 2023–2030 plan supports item streams; 2026 one-time curbside event has ended. No 2026 fee waiver assumed. Mattresses and furniture must be brought to the Baie-Comeau ecocentre (not left at MRC TNO shared waste bins). 800 avenue Léonard-E.-Schlemm; Tuesday–Saturday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., last entry 4:45 p.m.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

The operator announced a one-time 2026 bulky-item collection on June 1, 3, 8 and 10 depending on sector; it has passed. Do not place an oversized sofa or mattress curbside in October on the assumption that a special collection is still scheduled.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The Régie operates the Baie-Comeau ecocentre at 800 avenue Léonard-E.-Schlemm. Operator-posted hours are Tuesday–Saturday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., last client at 4:45 p.m. A current MRC service page explicitly directs mattresses and furniture to this ecocentre. That page addresses the MRC’s unorganized territory, so Baie-Comeau households should verify their own account/residency conditions with the Régie first.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

The MRC’s public instructions specifically name mattresses, refrigerators and furniture as items to take to the Baie-Comeau ecocentre, instead of leaving them at local TNO garbage containers. The adopted regional waste plan also categorizes worn mattresses and upholstered furniture in ecocentre receiving streams. Follow Régie sorting directions for electronics, refrigeration and chemicals.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

An older operator annual report described a 3-tonne annual free allowance per municipal assessment, but that is not proof of a current 2026 entitlement, price or remaining account balance. Contact Régie Manicouagan to confirm residency documentation, permitted materials, annual quota and special fees before loading mattresses or sofas.

What still needs confirmation

CHECK BEFORE DROP-OFF: The official MRC route establishes an ecocentre for mattresses and furniture, but the published MRC instructions address unorganized territory residents. Confirm current 2026 acceptance and any separate fees or limits for a Baie-Comeau household; the June 2026 one-off curbside pickup is over.

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.
