Quick answer for Sainte-Thérèse

The town confirms that bulky-item collection was changed in 2026 to a monthly citywide program, using the first Monday of the month. Residents must consult the town rules for material eligibility and set-out times.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Sainte-Thérèse divided its garbage and recycling routes into four zones from January 1, 2026. Regular cart collection is automated and does not collect loose mattresses as ordinary garbage.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The municipal collectes-et-écocentre page contains current zone lookup, bulky collection rules and a separate écocentre. Do not assume that an old four-zone waste calendar applies to the monthly bulky date.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Chemicals, batteries, paint and other hazardous streams belong at proper eco/producer drop-offs rather than bulky garbage.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The city page establishes timing and the new 2026 zone system; it does not provide a universal mattress-specific service price in the checked text.

What still needs a last check

Confirm a mattress versus boxed spring and any 2026 construction-wood restrictions in the town item list before staging the item; check holiday changes.

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

  1. Check whether municipal or regional service applies to your property.
  2. Identify the item’s exact stream: mattress, furniture, major appliance, metal, hazardous waste, construction material or ordinary household refuse.
  3. Check the official fee, facility hours and any required booking or advance approval.
  4. Secure your load and follow facility instructions for separation or special handling.
