This includes those who own property, but do not reside here full time. You may be required to show proof of residency to access the landfills. If your identification states residency that is not in BRM, but you own property, please come into the Municipal Office and ask for a card which will allow this access. This will need to be done on a yearly basis. **How it Works** When using any of the sites, the attendant will be greeting you and requesting your name, address and what you are bringing to the site. The attendant is permitted to look through what you are dumping to ensure proper disposal of the materials in the correct location. **Disposal of Materials** All materials do NOT go in the garbage pit. There are specific areas that items need to be placed. Separate areas include steel and scrap metal, recycling, tires WITHOUT rims (Matheson site ONLY), electronics and CLEAN wood (if nails are removed from untreated lumber, this is considered clean wood). You are responsible to sort your materials brought to the site. Failure to do so may result in progressive action from the Township. **Fees** There are fees associated with the disposal of certain materials. Residents are permitted to dump up to 10 bags free of charge and can dispose of an unlimited amount of recyclable materials. Residents are also permitted to dispose of unlimited tires, as long as the rims are removed, as well as unlimited electronic waste free of charge. Fees are associated with trailers, tandems, and white metals (which have to be tagged that freon has been removed). Tagging can be done where coolant units are maintained. **Landfill Sites** With the continued work of the Township as well as the assistance from the community, the landfill sites will have optimal use and disposal space. Please do your part and sort your materials before dumping. **PLEASE NOTE: Effective June 1st, 2023 - all tipping fees must be pre-paid at the Township Hall - attendants will not be accepting payments at the landfill sites.** **TIPPING FEES** **All Fees are HST exempt** Every separate trailer attached to a vehicle is considered a separate load. **Construction/Domestic Waste**Midsize truck to 1 Ton Truck - $30.00/load 1 Ton - $40.00/load Tandem Truck - $250.00/load Larger than Tandem Truck - $290.00/load Trailers up to 4'x8' (single axle) $45.00/load Trailers over 4'x8' (single axle) $70.00/load Trailers over 4'x8' (double axle) $85.00/load **White Metals**Freon removed and tagged only.
