Live: Council Webcast Watch

The City of Yellowknife acknowledges that we are located in Chief Drygeese territory. From time immemorial, it has been the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, and more recently, the homeland of the North Slave Métis Alliance. We respect the histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Metis, Inuit, and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community.

Amnesty Days

Spring Amnesty Days will take place May 27-29, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. until 5:15 p.m.

On amnesty days, the Residential Vehicle Charge for the disposal of residential waste is waived. Other tipping fees will still apply. Please see our Fees page for more information on the tipping fees that are not waived during amnesty.

Please note: Amnesty days no longer include Household Hazardous Waste Day as Household Hazardous Waste is accepted daily at the Solid Waste Facility and is included in the residential $15.00 minimum fee. Commercial Hazardous waste is not accepted at the Solid Waste Facility.
