Dumping fees (Metro Vancouver)
Part of a junk removal bill is the disposal fee charged by the regional transfer stations. Metro Vancouver sets these rates — we pass them through at cost and never mark them up. Here is what the facilities charge:
| Material | Facility rate |
|---|---|
| Garbage / mixed waste (loads under 1 tonne) | $182 / tonne |
| Mattress or box spring | $20 each |
| Yard trimmings & clean wood | $124 / tonne |
| Banned / hazardous material surcharge | $80 / load |
