Next step of tipping fees in the new year

8 November 2024

The District of Kitimat continues to support waste diversion and thorough use of the curbside collection program.

In 2023, this strategy involved implementing costs at the Kitimat Landfill.

Effective January 1, 2025, the minimum tipping fee for the landfill becomes $10 per visit.

Encouraging more use of curbside collection and discouraging individual use of the landfill means extending the life of our landfill, which is otherwise close to the end of its lifespan.

Since 2020, we have introduced new curbside programs, from yard waste to recycling to food waste.

Except for regular garbage, all streams of waste from the curb goes to locations other than the local landfill.

The $10 fee at the landfill continues to cover the first 100kg of waste. After that, waste is charged at certain set rates. Visit www.kitimat.ca/landfill for more information about its fees.
