To support residents in the Southern Lakes region affected by recent windstorms, the Government of Yukon is waiving tipping fees for brush, trees and clean wood brought to the Deep Creek, Marsh Lake, Mount Lorne, Tagish and Carcross solid waste facilities during normal business hours from July 28 to August 6.
Recent windstorms downed trees and created windblown debris. Waiving tipping fees will assist residents with cleaning up and encourages disposal of brush piles that could otherwise increase wildland-fire risks.
Tipping fees will still apply for all other waste, including household waste, vehicles, scrap metals and construction material.
Our government is happy to provide this relief and hopes it assists residents with cleaning up their properties. Severe weather events are becoming more prevalent, and our government will quickly respond to residents’ needs when they occur.
Minister of Community Services Richard Mostyn
Disposing of untreated wood, uncontaminated brush or trees, is normally $5/cm3.
