How to dispose of common items in Melfort
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Mattresses can be taken as household bulky waste to the landfill. Keep them separate from recyclable or special material and confirm the current rate at the scale.
Couches and large furniture
Large furniture uses the landfill/self-haul route rather than being placed beside the automated curbside cart.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
Non-refrigerant metal appliances can be sorted with the landfill’s metal stream. Refrigerant appliances require the dealer tag before the landfill will accept them.
Drywall and renovation debris
Demolition material is specifically excluded from some seasonal free-disposal events and should be handled under the landfill’s normal construction/demolition rules.
Does your property type change the answer?
Melfort’s City collection covers residential properties within the program limits; larger multi-unit/commercial properties can have private collection arrangements.
Melfort: refrigerant appliances need proof before the trip
Choose the route before loading
A couch and a refrigerator may both be bulky, but the landfill handles them differently. The refrigerator needs the required certification tag.
Keep mixed cleanouts separated
Use the current landfill fee table rather than assuming a seasonal cleanup waiver applies to demolition, hazardous or refrigerant material.
