What is the Minimum Charge for Dropping off Residential Waste in Vancouver?

The minimum charge for dropping off residential waste in Vancouver depends on the specific facility you visit. Based on the 2026 fee schedule, the rates are as follows:

  • City of Vancouver Transfer Station: There is a minimum charge of $7.00 for small loads.
  • North Shore Transfer Station: The minimum charge is slightly higher at $8.00.
  • Vancouver Landfill (Delta): While a specific minimum dollar amount is not listed for mixed waste, it offers the lowest base tipping fee of $139 per tonne and does not collect the transaction fee (roughly $2 to $5) that is typically applied to residential drop-offs at the other transfer stations.
