The Valley Solid Waste Commission has contractual arrangements for waste disposal with two New Brunswick landfill operators:
 COGERNO www.cogerno.com
at the Montagne de la Croix Sanitary Landfill
 South West Solid Waste Commission www.swswc.com
• The Valley Solid Waste Commission is responsible for shipping equal amounts of waste to each landfill (+/-5%).
• In 2010, the Valley Region generated and shipped 19,867 metric tonnes for final disposal to the landfill facilities (approximately 709 tractor trailer loads).
• Solid waste collected from residents and the Institutional / Commercial / Industrial sectors in Victoria County is transported directly to the landfill at COGERNO.
• In Carleton County, waste is first received at the Southern Valley Transfer Station for reloading into larger vehicles for transportation to the landfills.
• In addition to solid waste, the transfer station accepts clean, separated construction and demolition materials, scrap metals, corrugated cardboard and other recyclables.
• Contact the operator for additional information.
