How to dispose of common items in Saguenay
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Mattresses, box springs, sofas and residential furniture are explicitly listed as accepted household bulky items.
Appliances and special items
Washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators and freezers are among the accepted bulky items, while many other electronics use the ecocentre route.
Drywall and renovation debris
Construction materials and carpet are not “monstres ménagers”; take them to the correct ecocentre stream.
Before you set out or haul a large item
In Saguenay, classify the item before choosing the disposal route. Furniture, mattresses, refrigerant appliances, electronics, household hazardous waste and construction debris can be governed by different collection or facility rules even when they come from the same home.
Use Ville de Saguenay — Monstres ménagers to re-check the current collection date or booking requirement, item dimensions or weight limits, facility hours, fees and preparation instructions. If the guide uses a regional authority, that is intentional: the regional waste operator may control disposal even when curbside service is associated with the municipality.
Québec source note: Some official municipal or provincial sources may be available only in French. Use the linked authority page as the controlling source and use browser translation if needed.
