Landfill - Salmon Arm, BC

Terri Cummings

very easy place to take your recycle. It's never crowded and drop off is just outside the gate.

Just trying to recycle. Had some worker come and badger me about where things go when I clearly have my items sorted? Thanked him and said "I've been here before", but buddy didn't have the awareness to stop and walk away? Still kept talking, still kept telling me where things go to the point he started grabbing at my bins to look inside? I was going to hand him my bins and ask him to take care of it then, but he finally clued in on my annoyance and stepped away ... FOR 30 SECONDS and then came back to continue to tell me where everything goes again!? I realize that the public can display some poor recycling practices and lack of caring but when others have it together, just leave them alone. Wow.

Lady at the top Part of the dump was extremely rude today and went through the dumpster after we left to pay and came back to us as we were being weighed, with one thing that was supposed to be for recycle apparently. We didn't think cardboard with paint and oil on it went in recycle. Very snoopy and cranky. Probably won't be back to this dump. She Needs to work on her personable skills.

Go to dump some drywall and the lady tells us it’s too old and needs to be bagged before dumping due to potential asbestos. Then proceeds to tell us that they can dump and cover it, but it’s more expensive. We weren’t going to drive home and bag it so we ask how much and she says $240. We ask if that is a flat rate and she says no, it’s per ton. Perfect, we had under 150lbs. We are leaving and go to pay and they charge us $240- apparently now it is a flat rate. They would not discuss it with us and told us to take it up with the CSRD. I kindly suggest giving people the correct cost breakdown prior to dumping, so it isn’t a surprise. Thank you and goodbye.

I’m am very upset, i was just at landfill and the website says that it closes at 5pm and I got there at 4pm and they said that had changed there hours but I double checked and it said 5 and not just that but the last time I went this woman was very rude to me. If I could give zero stars I would, very disappointed if I could give one star I would.

Rate a landfill eh?
Well... Here goes.

The staff there are very friendly and helpful.
They also have a section where you can pick through other people's stuff that still has lots of life left in n it.
Hey, I scored an electric kettle that looked brand new and works just fine!
The identical one in a box at a major chain store sells for $50.00!

I am writing a review about a landfill ….. because I can ….. welcome to the First World Everyone … built by my ancestors and where you can go on digital media to review landfills …. This one is particularly nice , the ridge line above creates an imposing suggestion of time and historical gravitas , while the thoughtful spacing of the the disposal sites leads the eye, adding the suggestion of being in a place and time greater than the moment .

The knowledgeable staff will provide you with instruction on where to go, in more than one way if needed, and with a weary eye will wave you though to the uncharted lands past. Said to be nightingale fairies at night dancing in the clearing of the dumpsters, they are purported to have special powers to alter the lives of beast and man and olfactory persuasions.

Such a place, with all its deep magic and hidden lore is not to be taken lightly and will annoint the visitor with a sheen of mystery and wonder.

Step in, to the place so called the Land of Phil
and be prepared to wonder……
