Gaspé junk disposal and bulky items
Where to take furniture, mattresses, appliances and household waste in Gaspé — with local pickup and drop-off rules kept separate.
Selected official bulky-item acceptance and cost rules checked; site is an index candidate, not a complete full-page certification.
Quick answer for Gaspé
Gaspé residents can self-haul mattresses, box springs and furniture to the City of Gaspé ecocentre at 1050 montée Wakeham. The regional operator explicitly lists these materials. The 2026 spring curbside large-item collection has ended; do not put furniture out on ordinary collection day.
1. What ordinary curbside collection covers
Gaspé operates address-specific household collection separate from its spring sector-based bulky pickup. The free May 11–28, 2026 bulky collection has ended; check the official calendar for future dates before curbside set-out.
2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route
The Gaspé ecocentre at 1050 montée Wakeham explicitly accepts mattresses (matelas), box springs (sommiers) and furniture (meubles) under the residential bulky-item category. Bring proof of local residence and separate materials. The operator posts winter weekday hours (October 15–April 12) of 7:30 a.m.–noon and 12:30–4 p.m.; holiday closures apply.
3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste
Metal, appliances, electronics, household hazardous waste and construction debris use separate receiving areas and rules. Refrigerant appliances must not be placed with ordinary scrap metal, and asbestos-containing loads are prohibited.
4. Charges, schedules and booking
For an eligible Gaspé residential address, the operator describes the first cumulative tonne as subject to a $10 administrative charge; above that allowance the listed bulky/CRD stream is $115 per tonne. The published operator policy controls actual eligibility and charges; this is not a free curbside service. Confirm your address allowance before loading.
What remains unverified
Confirmed: Gaspé ecocentre accepts mattresses, box springs and furniture, with residency and weight-based rules. Still confirm particular oversized or contaminated upholstered items, weighbridge charges, holiday hours and any future seasonal curbside event. Do not use the MRC du Rocher-Percé free-drop-off rules for Gaspé addresses.
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.
