“Mixed Load Charge” tickets will be issued for loads that contain a discernable amount (over 10%) of recyclable materials. The overall goal of this initiative will be to divert recyclable materials brought to the Mohawk Street Landfill Site for disposal. If the load is found to contain over 10% of recyclable materials, the entire load will be charged at the “Banned Material Rate” of $140.00 per metric tonne.  The hauler will be advised of the increased tipping charge and given the option to separate the recyclable materials or pay the tipping fee.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in diverting recyclable materials from disposal and to extend the operating life span of the Mohawk Street Landfill Site.
