Milton dump: hours, fees and what it takes

You will find the Halton Waste Management Site at 5400 Regional Road 25, Milton. Halton Region runs it.

For a question about a load, call Halton on 311, or on 905-825-6000. A load that needs the site’s approval before it comes in is cleared the same way: by calling 311 or emailing wastemanagement@halton.ca.

Garbage, drywall, appliances, scrap metal, shingles and wood are charged by weight. A load of 150 kg or less pays $10/load ^{source [1]}, and once a load passes 150 kg it pays $221/tonne ^{source [1]}, counted on the whole load.

Household yard waste, leaves, brush and woodchips cost $10/load ^{source [1]}. Small loads of brick, concrete or rubble with no steel in them cost $10/load ^{source [1]}, at most 3 loads a year, with commercial loads not accepted, and a dump truck full of it needs approval first. Clean soil or sod costs $10/load ^{source [1]}, residential loads only.

De-commissioned soil and asbestos also need approval before they come, and each pays by the tonne on its whole weight: the soil at $35/tonne ^{source [1]}, and asbestos at $442/tonne ^{source [1]}. When brick, concrete or rubble has steel rebar or mesh set in it, or a piece measures over one square foot, Halton takes it as garbage, not for recycling.

Electronics, tires and household hazardous waste go in free of charge. The site also sells garbage bag tags at 5 for $10 ^{source [3]}, a sheet of 5 tags, up to 5 sheets at a time. Bring a card: the site takes debit, Mastercard and Visa, and no cash.

On the site, the place where electronics are dropped off is what Halton calls its Waste & Recycling Depot. The site’s Household Hazardous Waste Depot takes paint, batteries and chemicals, and beside it a paint and stain reuse depot, open from spring to fall, lets you leave usable paint or take some home free. The Reuse Depot takes things in good condition that can be resold, such as clothing and textiles, housewares, books, toys, seasonal items and antiques.

Halton asks you to sort the load by material before you arrive, for quick and easy unloading. Tie or tarp anything open in the back of the vehicle, and empty any bags or boxes of clean fill, woodchips, brick, concrete or rubble before they go in. Site staff may not help you unload, so if something is heavy, bring a second person.

When a load is too big for a car or a trailer, Big Bin can bring a bin to the address. One price covers the delivery, the pickup and 7 days. Clean concrete or clean soil goes in a 14 yard bin of its own, with nothing else in it, for one flat price.

Big Bin delivers bins in Milton, Oakville, Burlington and Georgetown, in 14 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard sizes.

The bin size guide shows which size a load needs, what can go in a bin checks it item by item, bin and dumpster rental cost shows what a rental includes, and roll-off bins explained covers how the truck works.
