Public and Automated Weigh Scales
The public scale serves both residential customers and commercial customers with or without credit accounts.
Use of the automated weigh scale requires both a credit account and an RFID sticker. The automated scale reduces wait times and provides early entry to the active face and kitchen scraps transfer station.
Active Face
The active face is the area of the landfill where garbage is received directly from self-tipping commercial vehicles.
The active face is unpaved, can be uneven and at times get quite muddy. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure their vehicle is suitable for the conditions of the active face. Drivers are required to wash down their vehicle tires upon exiting the active face during wet weather conditions. The wheel wash facility should not be used to wash out vehicle boxes.
Due to the presence of mobile equipment moving and compacting garbage, all customers to the active face and wheel wash facility must wear high visibility vests and safety boots. The exception are passengers who remain in the vehicle.
All loads must remain covered and secured until reaching the site.
Disposal Permits and Appointments
To protect the health and safety of all workers as well as the environment, some materials streams are managed separate from general refuse and require approval and in some cases an appointment for disposal at Hartland Landfill.
Construction, Renovation and Demolition Material
Disposal of material associated with renovation activity requires pre-approval and an appointment for large loads destined for the active face. Visit our Reno & Demo Waste webpage to learn what materials are included, exempt and to access the application forms.
Asbestos Containing Material
Material containing any concentration of asbestos requires an appointment and laboratory analysis for disposal at Hartland Landfill. Visit our Asbestos webpage to see what items commonly contain asbestos, learn about the requirements for disposal and to access WorksafeBC resources.
