Quick answer for Matane
Matane’s official May 2026 residential bulky-item event has passed; MRC de La Matanie confirms its large-item stream is for objects too large for a normal rolling bin, subject to a separate accepted/refused list.
1. What ordinary curbside collection covers
From January 1, 2026, MRC de La Matanie oversees municipal waste collection; Matane routes and seasonal bulky events must be checked against regional schedules.
2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route
Matane ecocentre is at 330 rue Yves-Bérubé, and the MRC operates waste collection. Contact MRC service for a current authorized collection or facility option for the actual item.
3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste
Hazardous waste and green waste are excluded from the bulky pickup, while refrigeration appliances need special collection/recycling handling.
4. Charges, schedules and booking
The May 2026 collection may take more than one day by sector, but it is not a permanent weekly service. The ecocentre’s current applicable tariff varies by material and is not established by the May announcement.
What still needs a last check
For an immediate mattress or sofa drop-off confirm specific acceptance and cost with MRC or ecocentre; do not assume the past May event is still available.
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.
