Eastview Landfill Now Offering On-Site Debit Payment Option


November 30, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brandon, MB – Management and staff at the City of Brandon’s Eastview Landfill are pleased to inform the public that a debit machine is now available at the landfill weigh scale for convenient payment of applicable weight charges directly at the point-of-service.

As per the City of Brandon’s annual Fee Schedule, residential customers entering the landfill with loads of more than 500 kilograms are subject to a charge based on the type of refuse and its weight. This can often lead to customers without cash on hand having to be invoiced by the City of Brandon for payment at a later date. While cash and invoicing forms of payment are still available for landfill users, the addition of debit as an on-site payment option offers convenience for residential or even commercial users if they choose, and should also result in lower direct clerical and administrative costs being borne by the City of Brandon.

The debit payment option is not retroactive, meaning that all previously-invoiced charges must still be made via the City of Brandon’s Finance Department located at Brandon City Hall. Processing of on-site payment by credit card is not available at the Eastview Landfill at this time.

More information on the Eastview Landfill, including its location and current hours of operation, can be found on the City of Brandon website at  http://www.brandon.ca/sanitation/landfill/landfill-overview or by calling 204-729-2281.
