City-operated Sani-dump in Castlegar Closed
City of Castlegar’s sani-dump at the Castlegar Visitors Centre, at 1995 6th Avenue, is now closed.
Residents and visitors have options with other facilities at:
Husky Gas Station - 1415 Columbia Avenue
Syringa Provincial Park - 5570 Broadwater Road
“We know this is a popular amenity in the community and we are actively planning for a new sani-dump facility,” says Sam Shine, City of Castlegar Operations Manager. “Staff are currently investigating options and we will be discussing them with Council later this year.”
The sani-dump was not originally scheduled to be in service in 2022. Fortunately, the City was able to open it for a few months before the location becomes an active construction zone.
The site will see the construction of the much-anticipated Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce's “Confluence” space - a new 7,000 square foot building which will bring economic growth, tourism, and local business supports together. Learn more at castlegarconfluence.com.
The City of Castlegar is a service centre in the West Kootenay. The diversified and growing economy is focused on the forestry, energy and mining sectors in the valley, and commercial services in the City. Quality of life features backcountry adventure and an increasingly dynamic urban culture, including the Millennium Park & Ponds and Sculpture Walk.
