General refuse, including renovation and demolition material, is inspected when it arrives Hartland. If a load contains excessive amounts of recyclable or compostable materials, the customer is subject to ticketing under CRD bylaw, in addition to the cost of disposal. In some situations the hauler may not be allowed to deposit the waste and may be asked to remove the material from the site.
Note: Items marked with * are accepted at the Hartland Public Drop-off Depot or with a permit or pre-approval.
Recently banned from general refuse
Asphalt shingles, clean wood (pallets, crating and lumber off-cuts), and treated wood (painted, stained engineered wood products) were banned from being commingled with general refuse in 2024. Separated loads of these materials are accepted at Hartland at reduced tipping fee for recycling or energy recovery.
