LOCAL DISPOSAL OPTIONS
How to dispose of common items in Whitehorse
Mattress and furniture disposal
Mattresses and other bulky furniture should be kept separate from regular garbage and can be taken to the Waste Management Facility. If an item is reusable, local reuse or resale can avoid disposal entirely.
Appliances and special items
Appliances, metals, electronics and hazardous materials have separate handling rules. Refrigerant appliances and hazardous waste should be confirmed before a trip so the load can be sorted correctly.
Renovation debris
Construction and demolition material, clean wood, concrete, asbestos-risk material and other renovation waste are sorted separately at the facility. Unsorted loads can cost more, so separate material before arrival.
