Tipping Fees
Minimum tipping fees are applied to billable wastes weighing 1-60 kilograms (140 lbs). Incremental costs are applied for every 10 kgs of waste in excess of 60 kgs. Your vehicle is weighed when you enter and leave the site. Cash, credit and debit are accepted.
Do you drop off waste frequently? Set up a customer account, which allows you to be billed bi-weekly rather than during every visit, call (902) 543-2991 or email info@southshorewaste.ca.
