Free week at the solid waste and recycling facility on Mapleward Road is an annual event in Thunder Bay.
Free week at the landfill runs from Sunday, May 6 to Sunday, May 13, and not the dates listed in the April/May issue of MyTBay.
To encourage homeowners to spruce up their homes and yards during May’s Municipal Spring Up to Clean Up program, landfill tipping fees are waived for all cars and non-commercial light trucks.
Regular tipping fees apply to all loads brought onto the site in commercial vehicles.
Traffic at the site typically increases significantly in the spring and especially during Spring Up to Clean Up. All loads coming in must be organized so they can be easily removed to the proper lay down areas in the following order:
