What a Bin for Soil, Concrete or Brick Costs in Ottawa
Weight-billed: no single published price, because weight limits and rates differ by company
City of Ottawa landfill rates below are context only, not bin prices.
Heavy material such as soil, concrete and brick usually needs a small or dedicated bin, or a partly filled one, billed by weight. Some companies keep a separate bin for clean fill. That makes the weight, not the bin's label, the number that moves the price.
