The solid waste disposal service in Oliver and district is funded through a combination of landfill tipping fees and tax subsidy. The percent of funding through the tax subsidy is decreasing, as the function moves towards a user-pay philosophy. Taxes are collected from all properties in Oliver and Area C based on assessed property values of land and improvements.
Besides burying residual waste, this function also supports a community composting operation, recycling and public education on solid waste issues.

All loads delivered to the Oliver Landfill must be covered by a tarp, canopy or container to confine the load to the vehicle. All uncovered loads will be charged a double tipping fee |
The landfill tipping fee for mixed residential refuse is $55.00/tonne. The fee for segregated wood or yard waste suitable for composting is half the regular rate, or $25.00/tonne. Covered, non-commercial loads of compostable material up to 500 kg are accepted free of charge. |
