West Lincoln extends waiving of tipping fees for flood-affected residents

The Township of West Lincoln is extending the temporary waiving of tipping fees for flood-affected residents for one additional week, to reduce the costs associated with cleanup and recovery.

West Lincoln residents who experienced flooding due to the recent heavy rainfall can continue to dispose of flood-damaged items and material to the Niagara Road 12 Landfill until Saturday, August 29.

When visiting Niagara Road 12 Landfill for the waived tipping fees:

• Bring identification showing your West Lincoln address
• Maximum load per visit: one pickup truck or trailer per household
• Cross the inbound and outbound weigh scales for processing
• Follow all site rules, including sorting materials into the appropriate disposal areas
• Expect longer wait times due to higher volumes
• Vehicles may be metered onto the site to help manage traffic flow and maintain safety

Waste facilities will close at the scheduled time. Vehicles already on-site before closing will be processed; vehicles waiting outside the gate at closing will not be admitted.

Contractors bringing material can present a work order from an affected property as proof of eligibility. The one trailer or pick up truck limit still applies.
