Regional District makes temporary changes to landfill and transfer station operations

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George is making two temporary changes to landfill and transfer station operations to reduce the impact of the ongoing strike on residents.

The operating hours at the Buckhorn, Chief Lake and West Lake Regional Transfer Stations will be changing to Tuesday to Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This matches the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill’s schedule, and helps to coordinate hauling waste from the transfer stations.

Additionally, the $6 fee for a small load of household garbage (under 100 kg) is temporarily waived as well. This only applies to bagged household garbage that does not contain demolition, land clearing or construction waste.

If a load of household garbage weighs more than 100 kg, the regular fee of $100 per tonne will apply to the entire load.
