Quick answer for Melville

The City of Melville landfill is the documented municipal self-haul destination for approved bulky household waste. Visitors must segregate waste by material and check the gate charges before bringing couches, mattresses or demolition loads; household cart eligibility and landfill acceptance differ.

1. What ordinary curbside collection covers

Melville provides residential black-cart garbage collection on a biweekly schedule, with pickup dates and zone information in the official 2026 collection calendar. Large items are not automatically accepted outside the cart.

2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route

The landfill is managed by BC Cleaning and governed by provincial environmental rules. The City publishes different seasonal hours, contact information and its 2026 landfill fee table. Public Works can assist at 306-728-6865.

3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste

Sort construction waste, metal, concrete and ordinary household garbage into the designated areas. Failure to sort can lead to penalties, and very large demolition loads should be discussed with Public Works in advance.

4. Charges, schedules and booking

The 2026 table lists a $19 landfill entrance charge and $60/tonne residential garbage for Melville residents, compared with $38 entry and $100/tonne for nonresidents. Different streams may have different charges; do not portray these as a universal one-mattress fee.

What still needs a last check

Current site residency and specific material classification must be verified for large-item loads. The fees are for listed categories, not automatic permission to tip asbestos, chemicals or mixed loads.

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.
