A: No, the Municipality will collect up to 4 bags of organics not to exceed 23 kgs per bag.
A: You will be charged twice the regular fee for unsorted waste because if you don’t sort it, we do. We are regulated to make sure the waste we send from Victoria County does not contain recyclable, compostable or other material banned from landfills. If it does, the Municipality can be fined or sanctioned, which ultimately means more cost for all Victoria County taxpayers.
A: That is what it costs the municipality to sort loads on your behalf.
A: Yes. The waste you are bringing to our facilities is not your personal household waste.
A: There are four ways:
1. The vehicle bringing the waste to our facilities is registered to a business.
2. Vehicles that visit our facilities more than four (4) times a month.
3. Vehicles exceeding one tonne of weight in a single visit.
4. Vehicles hauling waste that is not their own personal household waste. Remember, if you are providing a service, you are considered a business.
A: There is no charge for weekly curbside collection for your household waste. Should you bring the waste into our facility, you may be charged a tip fee (see the above question).
A: The Municipality charges a blended tax rate in such instances therefore, only 4 bags per stream and 2 bundles of cardboard may be placed for curbside collection.
