Transfer Station Fee Changes Effective January 1, 2025

Please be advised that effective January 1, 2025, Transfer Station fees will increase by 3.5% overall. This increase has been approved by Council in the 2024 Solid Waste Utility Budget.

The new fee structure will impact scale loads, fees for when the scale is out of service, and other commercial service fees. For instance, customers will be charged $23.15 for a load weighing up to 250 kg, $138.85 per tonne for loads weighing over 250 kg, and $98.35 per tonne for materials redirected to the Kenora Area Landfill on Jones Road. 

The cost of a bag tag will increase to $2.60 per bag.
