Untarped loads

Residents and commercial haulers must properly tarp all loads brought to City landfill sites. Untarped loads are illegal and a significant source of roadside litter.

Load Inspections

All residents and commercial users of City landfill sites must separate recyclable items from waste. Any waste loads that contain recyclable materials will be subject to additional fees as part of the Collection and Management of Waste and Recyclables By-Law 2024-235 (Download).

Recyclable items that should be separate include:

• blue box recyclables (plastic, glass, aluminum cans, etc.)
• green box recyclables (paper, cardboard, boxboard, etc.)
