Landfill Rules and Regulations

Rules and Regulations (while visiting the landfill sites)
  • When you offload your waste (whatever it consist of), it immediately becomes property of the NPRSB. 
  • Absolutely no scavenging is allowed.  The reasons for that are: 

                *Our insurance policy

                *Privacy issues - we have to guarantee privacy for waste

  • NPRSB has the authority to call the RCMP if these regulations are not followed and charges will be laid.
  • Smoking is not permitted on site. 
  • You are responsible for offloading all materials brought into the landfill site.  Staff are not permitted to offload your waste for you.  However, should you require assistance please phone in advance, and arrangements can be made.
  • Due to safety issues children are not allowed to walk or run around the site. 
  • Pets are not allowed to roam free at the landfill.  Keep them in your vehicle or on a short leash.
  • When you are asked to declare what your waste consists of, you must state all items that you are carrying.  As we have various stations for each classification of waste, you will be directed as to where each item is to be offloaded. 
  • Remember, all waste must be covered when transporting.  Travelling to the landfill sites for all users, require highway travel.  At highway speed, items can come loose and blow back to hit vechicles behind you.  In addition, you are littering if items blow onto the road and into the ditches, with or without your knowledge.
  • For loose uncontrolable items, cover with a net.  This does an excellent job to keep items secure.
  • For used roofing shingles, there are issues with nails falling through trailer seams, bedpan seams or truck tailgate seams and waiting on the roadway for the next piece of rubber coming its way.  It is possible, that next piece of rubber could be your tire, returning from the landfill site.  It is best to place a plastic sheet or tarp on the bed of your transportating vehicle so it can contain loose nails.  This will also make it easier to offload once you get to the site. 
  • We do allow wood to be taken. 

Risk

When you enter the landfill site, you do so at your own risk.  We are not responsible for problems with your vechicle resulting from travelling on our road system.  We make every effort to keep roadways clear of sharp debris.
