Hartland accepts many recyclable and reusable materials for free, and other materials by pay-by-weight. Review the individual drop-down categories for specific material rates and items. Review the Hartland User Guide (PDF) for an outline of accepted items and rates.

For pay-by-weight items, your vehicle is weighed before and after dumping. Payment is calculated on the weight difference.

Example: 250 kgs (550 lbs) of garbage at $110/tonne = $37.50 ($27.50 + $10 bin user fee)

Most recycling and reusable items are accepted at no charge. Detailed list of no charge items.
