Landfill
he right to limit or refuse the acceptance of any Special Waste. Complete the Special Waste
Disposal Permit Application and email it to specialwaste@regina.ca.
Note: Each asbestos location will require its own application form. You will be contacted within
two business days regarding your application. Once the application has been approved, the customer
must contact the Landfill in order to schedule delivery of the asbestos (notice must be given at
least 24 hours prior to delivery). Provide two copies of the approved Permit to the hauler. The
hauler will retain one copy for their records and the other will be provided to the Scale Attendant
at the Landfill. Both copies must be signed by the driver. The driver must have a signed valid copy
of the approved Special Waste Disposal Permit with them when disposing of special waste at the
Landfill. An approved Special Waste Disposal Permit does not meet the requirements for a shipping
manifest in accordance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations. Where required, by
provincial or federal legislation, manifests and shipping documents must be completed separately.
For more information, refer to The Hazardous Substances and Waste Dangerous Goods Regulations and
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulation. Fees (effective Jan. 1, 2026) Asbestos: $400/load
+ $95/tonne All other Special Waste: $250/load + $95/tonne Delivery/Disposal Asbestos and other
special waste materials must be secured and handled in accordance with all applicable current
regulations and policies. The asbestos waste load must be free of all garbage and other waste or it
will be rejected. All loads are subject to inspection. The customer is responsible for the
transportation and offloading of the special waste. The unloading of asbestos shall only take place
in the presence and under the direction of a Landfill Operator to ensure that no loose asbestos or
broken bags are unloaded and no airborne particulate are generated. If the wind speed is greater
than 20 km/hr and/or other inclement weather conditions exist, the Landfill Operations staff has
the right to refuse delivery due to unsafe disposal conditions. Please follow all instructions of
the Landfill Operations staff while disposing of special waste. Frequently Asked Questions Can
asbestos be disposed of at the Landfill? Yes, however a special waste permit must first be
acquired. Please follow the steps above to dispose of asbestos at the Landfill. Can a customer mix
garbage/regular waste in with an asbestos load? No, the asbestos waste load must be free of all
garbage and other waste or it will be rejected. All loads are subject to inspection. How should
asbestos be contained/wrapped/bagged for disposal at the Landfill? Failure to comply with these
practices will result in an asbestos load being rejected: Friable Asbestos Waste – Friable asbestos
waste must be double bagged in yellow, six millimetres thick asbestos bags. Friable asbestos bags
must be clearly labelled stating “asbestos”. Asbestos disposal techniques must reduce or eliminate
air pockets to avoid becoming a “popping” hazard when using the above mentioned bags. Asbestos
containing bags should not exceed 35 inches in width and 50 inches in length. It is recommended
that friable asbestos be wetted before being double bagged. Non-Friable Asbestos – Non-friable
asbestos waste materials must be encapsulated in wet soil/dirt prior to being wrapped in 6
millimetres thick poly, secured and labelled clearly stating “asbestos.” Asbestos pipe insulation
or pipe must have the broken ends sealed in plastic and must be clearly labelled stating “asbestos”
and encapsulated in wet soil/dirt; any small pieces (fragments) must be double bagged in 6
millimetre thick yellow bags. Sealed drums are not acceptable asbestos waste containers. For more
information on how to accommodate abnormal loads, contact specialwaste@regina.ca. How long will it take for a Special Waste Disposal Permit application
to be processed? All applications will be reviewed within two business days. Following approval the
applicant must contact Landfill Operations and set up a disposal time. Disposal times are subject
to weather and operations availability. How long is my Special Waste Disposal Permit valid for?
Once a customer has received an approved Special Waste Disposal Permit, it is valid for two weeks
from the approval date. Any time the material type changes (friable asbestos to non-friable
asbestos) or the source changes a new permit is required. Can my application be denied? Yes, if a
customer’s permit is denied it will be accompanied with the reason for denial. It is important to
note that the City of Regina reserves the right to limit or refuse the acceptance of asbestos and
other special wastes. Contact specialwaste@regina.ca regarding any
denial inquiries. What are the reasons that an asbestos load may be rejected? There are two main
reasons for the rejection of an asbestos load: The asbestos waste load does not comply with
provincial regulations and/or the City of Regina Landfill’s Special Waste Disposal Permit (i.e.
garbage or regular waste in the load, improperly bagged asbestos, bags are not labelled, etc.). The
weather is unsafe to dispose asbestos (i.e. high winds). What happens if my load is rejected at the
Landfill? If an asbestos load is rejected for issues arising from an unacceptable load, the
approved permit will be void. Correct the issue and then contact specialwaste@regina.ca for further instructions and/or to re-apply for another permit. The
customer must go through the Special Waste Disposal Permit process again. ...
