Please see Select Wood Loads: Terms & Conditions below for qualified materials.

Select Wood Loads Terms and Conditions

Materials that qualify for disposal as Select Wood:

Acceptable

Loads will be accepted directly from demolition sites only – transfer station loads will not be accepted.
Loads must contain at least 95% wood. Dimensional lumber is preferred and wood fines must be kept to a minimum.
Shake roofing is acceptable.
Plastics, carpet and soft materials must be less than 5% of the load.
Recyclable materials such as cardboard and metals will be accepted but it is recommended that they be removed prior to disposal.

Not Accepted

Gypsum* drywall in loads.
Materials which are not permitted for disposal at Ecowaste including putrescibles, asbestos, household hazardous waste or special wastes.
Mattresses.
Treated lumber containing chemical preservatives, pentachlorophenols or creosote.
Concrete or brick.
Tar and gravel roofing.
Soil, turf or yard trimmings.

Ecowaste reserves the right to limit the volume of Select Wood it accepts.

Loads that contain any material in the Not Accepted category will be charged the Demolition Refuse rate, or reloaded (fees apply) if not acceptable at the facility.

Loads must be in containers 30 yards or larger. Ecowaste’s ‘Volume Incentive Plan’ (VIP) does not apply to this material.

Ecowaste encourages the separation of materials at source. Tear-off duroid shingles and concrete that are separated from wood loads at site and delivered separately to Ecowaste will receive preferential pricing to the Select Wood and Demolition Refuse rates.

Burned / Fire-Damaged Materials

For Fire Damaged materials, please see the section below, for important information prior to bringing materials to the site. Burned buildings may contain incidental drywall that cannot be removed, but should not exceed 10% of the load.

All burn loads must be reported in at the scale. Ecowaste will not accept any burn/fire-damaged loads until at least 14 days have passed since the date of the fire. Ecowaste will need to see proof of the date of the fire before accepting any burn loads.

A heat gun will be used to measure the temperature of the load prior to dumping to confirm the load is cool (i.e. at ambient temperature) and will be measured in its entirety again when the load has been discharged. Ambient temperature will be considered to be within 10° Celsius of the air temperature at time of measurement. Additional storage fees will be charged if the load is above the ambient temperature at a rate of $200 per day (to a maximum of $1000 per load) until the load is cool enough to be incorporated into the landfill.

In the event the material must be moved from the site of the fire and delivered to a disposal facility before 14 days has passed after the fire, the material is to be placed in an area properly prepared to ensure the load will not create a fire risk to the landfill. Ecowaste will prepare a soil pad that will isolate the load from the landfill and the load(s) will be discharged at that location and monitored until the 14 day period has elapsed. An additional charge of $1,000 per load will be charged for this service.

Vehicle Overweight Policy

Overweight vehicles have become an increasingly common occurrence at our landfill, ranging from minor to major instances. We strongly encourage all customers and drivers to comply with the legal weight limits set by government transportation authorities. These regulations protect the safety of the public and help prevent unnecessary damage to public roads. Additionally, we want to remind all drivers that loads arriving at our landfill must be properly secured.

To help promote compliance with applicable weight limits, Ecowaste has implemented charges for overweight loads crossing our scales. All funds collected from overweight charges are directly used for community benefits and charitable initiatives. Charges will appear on monthly invoices or will be payable by the recipient at the scale.

The following table provides the basis for the overweight charges:

Overweight	Overweight Charge
Up to 1000 kg over legal GVW	$0 but notify the driver
1001 kg to 2000 kg over legal GVW	$200 Charge
2001 kg to 3000 kg over legal GVW	$400 Charge
3001 kg to 4000 kg over legal GVW	$600 Charge
4001 kg to 5000 kg over legal GVW	$800 Charge
Greater than 5001 kg over legal GVW	$1000 Charge

All loads arriving to the site must be secured
