How to dispose of common items in Yorkton
Mattress and box-spring disposal
Mattresses should be treated as bulky household refuse and taken to the landfill rather than forced into a curbside cart. Ask the scale attendant where to unload.
Couches and large furniture
Couches and other large furniture can be self-hauled with residential refuse. Reuse is worth checking before paying to landfill a usable piece.
Fridges, freezers and appliances
Appliances and scrap metal may have a diversion route at the landfill. Confirm refrigerant-containing units and other special items before arrival.
Drywall and renovation debris
Construction and institutional waste is priced separately from ordinary residential refuse. Clean wood and aggregate material also have distinct rates.
Does your property type change the answer?
Normal curbside collection is not a catch-all bulky-item service. Apartment or commercial properties should follow their building/private-hauler arrangement.
Yorkton: sort the load before you cross the scale
Choose the route before loading
The landfill fee table separates residential refuse from clean wood, construction waste and other streams. A mixed load can cost more and be harder to unload.
Keep mixed cleanouts separated
