Fees & Charges

Why is there a $5 recycling fee?

The $5 fee applies per bulk load of co-mingled recycling, cardboard, scrap metal, glass or motor oil. Even though these materials are recyclable, they still cost money to collect, sort, transport and manage. To get the best value, residents are encouraged to bring these recyclables in larger loads rather than multiple small trips. This provides more recycling for the same $5 fee. Tip passes should be saved for more expensive waste types such as mattresses or larger green waste loads. The $5 recycling charge is reviewed annually as part of Council’s budget process. Fees may change depending on market conditions, operational costs, and community needs.
