What to Expect When Attending the Landfill:

All residential loads will first access through the Diversion Depot where staff with help direct you to the right locations for your materials. Once all items have been diverted, whatever is remaining will then proceed to the scale. If your load is not properly separated before attending, you may be directed to head to the scale first to dispose of the waste materials and then proceed back to the depot for the divertible materials.

When attending the landfill, you will be required to follow posted rules and speed limits as well as ensure you are placing your materials in the right locations.

You will enter on the inbound scale and stop to speak with the Scale Operator. At this time the Scale Operator will weigh your vehicle and ask you what types of materials you have and let you know how much you will be required to pay (if anything).

The Scale Operator will direct you to the location(s) to where you will go. A map is also available if you would like one to help with directions on site.

Once you have disposed of your materials, you will exit the site through the outbound scale and stop to have your vehicle weighed before leaving. The Scale Operator will either wave you out or they may need to speak with you if your vehicle is over the weight limit for minimum fees. You must wait until you have been acknowledged by the Scale Operator before driving away.

Failure to dispose of your materials in the right location(s) will result in a Clean-Up Fee added to your charges. Please see the Fee Schedule for current rate.

Landfill Gas

The destruction of landfill gas via a flare system is continuing at the Eastview Landfill. Methane gas is a greenhouse gas and is 21 times more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide. The Province of Manitoba requires all major landfills in the province to capture and destruct landfill gas as identified in legislation. Currently the gas is being flared off until a viable end user is found. This project will continue in the future with a life expectancy of 20-25 years.

Cell 18 Construction is projected to start in spring of 2027, with construction to be fully completed by late fall.

Why are we constructing this new cell?

We need to build new cells before the old cells are at capacity to ensure continuity of service going forward. The most recent cell (Cell 19) was completed in 2023 and is nearing capacity due to the reduced size after finding an old undocumented waste pit.

How long does it take to build?

The process for building a new cell starts as soon as the most recent cell being built is completed. This entails removing any fill material and getting the footprint of the new cell down to a rough grade. This work is typically completed internally by landfill staff, as time is not normally a big concern. This allows the contractor to come in and focus on getting the cell floor to the finished grade before the liner, leachate collection system and granular drainage material is installed. The contractor is typically onsite for 60 – 90 days.

How big is Cell 18 going to be?

Once Cell 18 is completed, it is anticipated that this cell will be active for approximately 5 years.
