FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
South Cariboo Landfill tipping fees updated for 2022
WILLIAMS LAKE – Beginning in 2022, Cariboo Regional District and District of 100 Mile House businesses and residents will see changes to the rates at the South Cariboo Landfill (SCLF). The changes are long overdue, as rates have not changed since 2013. The new rates still do not cover the costs associate with managing waste, meaning tax dollars will continue to be used to cover the shortfall. Another rate change is scheduled for January of 2023.
As of January 7, 2022, residents will be able to drop off 200 kilograms (kg) of household waste at the SCLF without incurring tipping fees, which is a decrease from the current limit of 350 kg. This will not affect most residential users, as the average weight of household loads at the SCLF is 63 kg.
Waste disposal rates are changing as well. The rates below will apply to residential loads over 200 kg and to all commercial loads, regardless of weight.
Waste Type Jan. 7, 2022 Rates 2013 Rates
Household Waste $0.05 per kg $0.04 per kg
Clean Wood Waste $0.035 per kg $0.025 per kg
Demolition/Construction Waste $0.075 per kg $0.05 per kg
Concrete & Rock $0.02 per kg $0.01 per kg
