How to dispose of common items in Estevan
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Mattresses and box springs are handled as a specific landfill material rather than normal cart garbage. Check the current City fee bylaw before hauling.
Couches and large furniture
Large furniture should go to the landfill or a reuse route. During any City cleanup/free-landfill event, check the event exclusions because not every special item is waived.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
White goods and refrigerant appliances can have different landfill charges. Keep fridges/freezers/air conditioners separate and identify them at the scale.
Drywall and renovation debris
Construction and demolition waste belongs at the landfill under its own waste category, not in the residential cart.
Does your property type change the answer?
Residential curbside collection rules apply to City-serviced properties. Commercial and larger private-service properties should use their contracted container/hauler process.
Estevan: landfill categories matter more than a generic 'junk' label
Choose the route before loading
A household cleanup can contain ordinary refuse, metal, appliances and mattresses that the landfill treats differently. Separate these before the trip.
Keep mixed cleanouts separated
Use the City’s current landfill-fee bylaw and solid-waste information as the final check because special-event discounts and charges can change.
Residency, exclusions and fees
Waste is limited to the City of Estevan and the RMs of Estevan No. 5 and Coalfields No. 4; bring address ID if requested. Tires, electronics, paint, oils and hazardous waste are excluded. The facility page's price table is labelled January 2021, so confirm current fees instead of treating it as a 2026 tariff.
