Unacceptable Wastes
Wastes which present a danger at the disposal site, which require special disposal techniques,
which may interfere with the level of service to the public or which are in contravention with
Provincially-mandated disposal bans, are not acceptable for disposal.
In some cases, wastes which are acceptable in small quantities may not be acceptable in large
quantities from a single generator because they may cause the level of service to other users to
deteriorate and may cause handling problems and increased environmental liability at the
Facility. The acceptability of large quantity wastes, as defined by the Director of Public Works,
shall be at the Waste Facility Staffs discretion, and subject to the Facility's ability to
accommodate disposal without deterioration in the level of service.
Waste generated outside the boundaries of the Municipality is unacceptable for disposal at the

Wastes which pose potential safety or environmental problems MAY NOT be disposed of at the
Facility. It is not possible to produce an exhaustive list of these wastes.

inspect all waste arriving at the Facility and the user will comply with any directives of
the Waste Facility Staff.
2.
All loads delivered to the Facility must be suitably covered to prevent material from
leaving the vehicle and causing undesirable litter. The operators of vehicles arriving with
uncovered loads will be advised that any subsequent uncovered loads will be immediately
refused.
3.
When the Waste Facility Staff encounter suspect, unacceptable waste, the material shall
be segregated and appropriate action taken.
4.
When a random check is to be performed the Waste Facility Staff will inform the hauler.
If the hauler refuses to allow the vehicle to be inspected, the vehicle will not be permitted
to unload and will be selected for a check on its next visit. The Waste Facility Staff will
record as much information as possible about haulers who refuse a random check.
5.
The selected hauler will be directed to a designated area, ensuring separation from all
other incoming waste. Prior to dumping, the driver of the inspected vehicle will confirm
the absence of unacceptable materials. The Waste Facility Staff will examine the load for
hazardous or unacceptable wastes. Non-hazardous, unacceptable waste delivered by a
!mown hauler will be reloaded by the hauler if necessary and removed from the site.
6.
Non-hazardous, unacceptable waste delivered by an unknown hauler may be removed
from the Facility, processed to render it acceptable, or accepted as a special circumstance
at the discretion of the Waste Facility Staff.
7.
Suspected hazardous ( and therefore unacceptable) waste delivered by a known hauler will
be reloaded by the hauler if necessary and removed from the Facility. Once a waste is
suspected to be hazardous, unless the hauler can prove otherwise to the satisfaction of the
Waste Facility Staff, the waste shall be removed at the hauler's expense.
