As discussed and approved by City Council on August 8, 2016 to amend residential tipping fees, changes are set to take effect on Monday, October 3, 2016.

The 100kg of free dumping will now be regulated on a monthly basis.

The system at the landfill site will track residential dumping based on license plates, and will be as follows:

  • First 100kg per month = no charge (regardless of the number of trips within a particular month as long as the cumulative weight does not exceed 100kg)
  • Over 100kg per month = $50 per tonne pro-rated for the remainder of the month

Residents will be charged the appropriate portion of the $50 fee for each kilogram surpassing 100kg, and the system will reset every plate number to zero at the start of each month.
