When the new year begins, heavy users of Kelowna’s garbage dump will be facing a slight increase in fees.
On Friday, the city announced that fees for the Glenmore landfill will increase to $104 per tonne, up from the current price of $102 per tonne.
The city said the slight rate hike was approved by council in 2021, in accordance with its solid waste management bylaw.
Though it may seem meagre, the $2 increase is the latest price hike over the past few years.

For example, on Jan. 1, 2019, the per-tonne fee rose to $95 from $85. And on Jan. 1, 2020, that $95 fee rose to $100.
Regarding household users, the $12 usage fee for loads under 250 kg will remain in place.
