Quick answer for Thetford Mines
The city ran ONE large-waste collection in 2026, with sectors collected September 14–October 1. That program has ended as of this audit date. Do not advertise year-round pickup.
1. What ordinary curbside collection covers
Household refuse follows the city collection schedule; very large items are handled by a separate seasonal program.
2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route
The municipal écocentre is the town-directed alternative for items excluded from the seasonal route. Call the Thetford regional operator to confirm a specific mattress or sofa and access rules.
3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste
Appliances with refrigerant, hazardous waste and tyres were expressly excluded from the seasonal large-waste route and directed to the écocentre or proper programs.
4. Charges, schedules and booking
The published 2026 event dates were sector-specific and residents could not place items out more than seven days ahead; current permanent drop-off fee not established on the page.
What still needs a last check
Check the item-specific acceptance and drop-off fees with the RIRT or eco-centre if using a self-haul alternative; do not assume the event is still active.
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.
