Renovation Waste Disposal for Residents

NEW: Residential waste materials potentially containing asbestos must meet certain requirements before being accepted into RDKS waste facilities.

As of April 2, 2024, a new policy is in effect for all residents wanting to dispose of renovation waste in the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. 

If you have renovation waste materials, anything considered to be Asbestos Containing Material will only be accepted at Hazelton Waste Management Facility, Thornhill Transfer Station, or Meziadin Landfill. This waste must be bagged and labelled correctly (double bagged in 6mil clear plastic bags, sealed with tape or gooseneck tied, labeled as "asbestos") before the facility will accept it.
