How much does it cost to go to the dump?
Most household loads at Spyhill pay a flat minimum charge. Heavier loads are weighed and charged by material. These are the City’s 2026 residential rates:
| Load | 2026 residential rate |
|---|---|
| Loads under 250 kg | $25 flat rate per load |
| Basic household waste, 250 kg or more | $113 per tonne |
| Yard waste | $50 per tonne (free until October 31, 2026) |
| Fridges, freezers and other refrigerant appliances | $17 per item plus weight charges |
| Electronics, household hazardous waste, textiles, tires, foam | Free |
Mixing free items into a chargeable load makes the whole load chargeable, so keep them separate. Staff confirm the load type and charge on site.
What can you drop off for free?
Free yard waste until October 31, 2026. Bring extra leaves, branches, plants (soil removed) and grass clippings to any City Eco Centre at no charge. Sod and food scraps are not part of the free program.
- Electronics such as TVs, computers and small appliances.
- Household hazardous waste, including paint, batteries and chemicals. Keep chemicals sealed and labelled, and never mix products.
- Clothing, shoes and textiles.
- Eligible passenger tires and foam packaging.
- Seasonal programs: spring and fall yard waste, compost giveaways and Christmas tree drop-off, on the dates the City announces.
Before you go
- Tarp and secure your load. The City requires loads to be covered and tied down so nothing blows out on the way.
- Sort before you arrive. Put free items, yard waste and garbage in separate parts of the vehicle so each can be dropped at the right spot.
- Expect an inspection. Loads with prohibited or hazardous materials can be surcharged or refused.
- Check the item first. Search what goes where; many items go in your carts or to a community recycling depot instead.
