2009 Landfill Evaluations

The City retained consultants to complete a Financial Evaluation of Various Filling Scenarios and the Estimation of GHG Emissions from the landfill compared to a Waste-to-Energy facility.

This information is to inform the public of the financial implications of the future regional municipal solid waste disposal options.
Acoustic ceiling tiles, blown-in insulation and vermiculite insulation are not accepted at the Vancouver South Transfer Station (VSTS). These materials may contain asbestos and can be disposed of at the Vancouver Landfill in accordance with the Asbestos Policy. See the 'Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials' section.

All other types of insulation, i.e. fibreglass, must be double bagged for disposal at the VSTS. Max. 10 bags per load.
