Fees climb for landfill disposal in the North Okanagan
It’s going to cost more to get rid of garbage.
Starting April 8, fees are climbing for the disposal of sold waste at the landfills in Greater Vernon, Armstrong-Spallumcheen, Lumby, Kingfisher and Cherryville.
“The most significant changes are an increase in the regular refuse disposal fee from $88 to $90.50 a tonne,” said Nicole Kohnert, manager of regional engineering services, adding that the minimum charge remains $3.
“The fee for construction and demolition waste will increase by $20 a tonne to $180 a tonne.”
The fee for disposal of loads that contain recyclable material, such as asphalt roofing, yard and garden waste, glass, scrap metal and wood, increases by $20 to $180 a tonne.
Asphalt roofing disposal will climb by $20 to $180 a tonne and the fee for mattresses and box springs will increase by $1 to $7 a unit.
