Landfill
The Landfill is located 6.5 km from Kitimat, on the west side of Highway 37.
Sort your waste. For the safety of our landfill operators and to save landfill airspace, the following items should separated and placed in their designated areas, outside of the landfill’s active face:
- Residential vehicle tires (rimless)
- Scrap metal and large household appliances, place in “scrap metal pile”
- Clean wood waste, place in “burn pile”
- Yard waste and clean chipped wood, place in “compost windrow”
- Empty compressed gas cylinders, place in designated area
- Lead-Acid batteries, place in designated area
- Corrugated cardboard is prohibited from the Landfill Site (bylaw 7.2.8.1). Please take all corrugated cardboard to KUTE recycling depot or place it at the curb on your next curbside collection day.
All loads are weighed at the Landfill.
Thank you for your patience as we continually make changes at the Kitimat Landfill, and for your effort in reducing your waste and helping the Landfill last longer.
