Cheaper Disposal Than the Competition

Smart Budgeting for Your Next Project

Earth-Wise has cheaper disposal than the competition. When you’re planning a renovation, demolition, or construction job in the Okanagan, disposal costs are a major budget line item. Where your waste ends up and how tipping fees are set can make a big difference in overall project cost. That’s where Earth-Wise Waste Management offers a clear advantage for homeowners and contractors alike.

Why Disposal Costs Vary So Much

Different regional districts manage waste differently. In the Central Okanagan (including Kelowna and Lake Country), the Glenmore Landfill operates under the Regional District of Central Okanagan with tipping fees that are significantly lower than in neighbouring regions. For example:

Typical mixed garbage disposal in Kelowna at Glenmore is roughly $106 per tonne.
In contrast, at the Greater Vernon Landfill under the Regional District of North Okanagan, comparable refuse disposal can reach $303 per tonne or more depending on materials.

That means if you’re disposing of construction, demolition, or mixed waste from Vernon you could be paying nearly three times the rate compared with disposing in Glenmore.

Real World Impact on Budgets

For large loads of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, the difference in per-tonne rates adds up fast. This is especially true for:

Contractors bidding jobs
Developers planning site cleanups
Homeowners budgeting reno waste disposal

Choosing a dumpster service that knows where waste is accepted and which landfills cost less can help you keep your costs down without cutting corners.

Lake Country and Carr’s Landing Residents Benefit Too

Residents and businesses in Lake Country, which includes Winfield and Carr’s Landing, send waste to the Glenmore Landfill. That gives people in these communities the same lower tipping fee advantage enjoyed by the City of Kelowna. Carr’s Landing is a lakeside neighbourhood within the District of Lake Country. Like Winfield and the rest of Lake Country, waste from this area is accepted at the Glenmore Landfill, allowing residents and contractors to benefit from the lower Central Okanagan disposal rates.
