Are There Separate Fees for Wood Waste and Yard Trimmings at Transfer Stations?

Yes, there are separate fees for clean wood waste and yard trimmings at transfer stations and landfills in the Vancouver region. These rates are generally lower than the fees for mixed waste but vary depending on the facility you visit.

According to the 2026 fee schedule, the rates for wood waste and yard trimmings are:

  • Vancouver Landfill (Delta): $92 per tonne.
  • North Shore Transfer Station: $95 per tonne.
  • City of Vancouver Transfer Station: $98 per tonne.

In addition to the per-tonne rate, visitors to transfer stations (excluding the Vancouver Landfill) should be prepared for a transaction fee of approximately $2 to $5 and a minimum charge for small loads ($7.00 at the City facility and $8.00 at the North Shore location). Sorting these recyclable organics from your general waste is recommended as it reduces the weight of your more expensive mixed waste load.
