Introduction of fees
Tipping fees came into effect in the areas around Whitehorse on August 1, 2020.
All facilities will eventually have tipping fees. Everyone will pay a similar cost for the same service.
Tip
How much will fees cost?
Tipping fees will be based on fees at the Whitehorse dump. For example:
| Household garbage | $1 per bag |
| Bulky items, such as a desk or couch | $10 per item |
| Large appliances without refrigerant, such as dishwashers, stoves, driers | $15 per item |
| Large appliances with refrigerant, such as fridges, freezers or air conditioners | $40 per item |
| Free store items, excluding clothing | $1 per bag |
