Introduction of fees
Tipping fees came into effect in the areas around Whitehorse on August 1, 2020.
Tipping fees come into effect at Destruction Bay, Champagne, and Pelly Crossing on May 1, 2025.
All facilities will eventually have tipping fees. Everyone will pay a similar cost for the same service.
How much will fees cost?
Tipping fees will be based on fees at the Whitehorse dump. For example:
| Household waste | $1.50 per bag |
| White goods with refrigerant (e.g. refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner) | $50 per item |
| Scrap metal (e.g. clean tank or drum, scrap iron, bicycle, metal furniture) - small pickup load | $45 per load |
| Free store items | $1.50 per bag |
