Biggar junk disposal and bulky items

Official local guidance for furniture, mattresses, appliances and household waste in Biggar — with pickup and disposal rules separated.

Bounded local rules were checked against official municipal/regional sources. Confirm your item and address with the operator.

Quick answer for Biggar

Biggar publishes a town landfill and an adopted tipping-charge policy. Arrange payment and authorization through the Town Office BEFORE entering the landfill; confirm that your specific mattress or sofa is eligible, since the reviewed policy does not list it by name.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Residential cart collection operates separately from landfill disposal. Follow the Town’s cart instructions and do not put loose furniture at curbside without confirmation.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The town landfill is roughly half a mile east of Biggar’s truck route, accessed south of the bus garage. Town-posted seasonal hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. in winter (Oct 1–Apr 15) and 10 a.m.–8 p.m. in summer.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Electronics and paint are directed to SARCAN; refrigerated appliance loads carry extra charges in the municipal tipping policy.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The policy effective June 24, 2025 lists $10 for a Biggar resident vehicle up to a half-ton truck, with higher fees by load size. It requires Town Office authorization/payment beforehand; do not assume this is the complete cost for every special material.

What still needs a last check

Confirm mattress/sofa acceptance, your truck/load classification and any updated rates with the Biggar Town Office at 306-948-3317.

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.
