How to dispose of common items in Humboldt
Mattress and box-spring disposal
A mattress is bulk refuse rather than ordinary cart material. Confirm REACT’s current site, fee and acceptance rules before transporting it.
Couches and large furniture
Furniture that does not fit the cart should use the regional bulk/disposal route. Do not leave it beside the automated cart unless a current program explicitly permits that.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
Appliances and regulated products can have separate recycling or disposal streams. Check REACT’s current material guide for the specific unit.
Drywall and renovation debris
Construction and renovation waste is not a reason to overload the residential cart. Use the regional disposal-ground rules and identify any hazardous material first.
Does your property type change the answer?
Humboldt’s curbside program covers residential properties of three units or less. Larger properties may use a different collection arrangement.
Humboldt: REACT is the authority behind the local waste system
Choose the route before loading
The City’s bylaw gives REACT control over the waste disposal grounds and its operating rules. That is why the regional source is the correct place to re-check bulky material.
Keep mixed cleanouts separated
Use the City page for the current curbside program and REACT for site-specific disposal instructions before hauling.
