Thunder Bay Solid Waste and Recycling Facility

Girls at the gate move slower then molasses people backing you up will just walk away from you well backing you up to go talk to their buddies very annoying for how much they charge you to take garbage.

Always long wait times, poor organization needs to be revamped in the way they process weighin and weight out. Even on slow days wait times are over an hour to dump ten dollars worth of garbage. Thunder Bay needs to fix this location.

Very slow in and out. I waiting to enter the scales on the way in for what felt like a long time as the exiting lane on the otherwise of the scales let 4-5 vehicles pass. Not to mention $24.90 for a 4x8 utility trailer of yard waste tree and shrubs plus weeks and some old soil. 25 bucks !?!?!? humMmmm

Long wait time getting out…..Women at the gate was talking to her buddy while finally servicing us. No eye contact, no interaction. Very unprofessional.

Always a pleasant experience, clean and quick, just a very busy place at certain times of the day.

The household products, paint used oil ect is very well organized and the staff are very friendly and helpful two thumbs up!

Despite the efforts of the municipality, waste management in Thunder Bay is poor at best. For a developed nation this is the case for most facilities across the country, however given the dense concentration of biodiversity and fragile ecosystems surrounding Thunder Bay, the current containment measures are unacceptable at best.. with the advent of improper disposal of food waste and recyclables comes small rodents and animals at the landfill and within the city itself. This increasing the prominence of other predators in the area such as bears, wolves, racoons and eagles, some of which are protected species. These species not only hunt the rodents but they feed in the waste at the landfill. You ever see a bald eagle with a plastic beer holder wrapped around it's neck? I have, right here in Thunder Bay, one of the most beautiful places in Canada, blessed by geography not cursed by it as John A.Mcdonald would have once argued. Symbolic to the Tragically Hip hit written by Canadian hero, Gord Downey, looking for a place to happen"

I always have a wonderful experience at Thunder Bay's most luxurious landfill. From the friendly staff to the beautiful scenery. Any visit to the area is not complete without spending some time here.

For a dump, this one is well maintained. Roads are clear and identifiable. Signage makes it easy to navigate. All waste sections are visibly marked out and there is no confusion for a new comer. The rate for public dumping is incredibly cheap - in comparison to places I’ve been. I have nothing to say except good things about this location. If there’s one negative criticism it would be that the staff needs to cheer up.
