Dump Station Costs in Grand Valley

The fee structure usually includes water fill-up privileges, and some locations offer package deals if you're also purchasing fuel or propane.

Water fill-ups are typically available at the same locations as dump stations, but bring your own hose - not all stations provide them.
Propane refills are available at several locations along Highway 9, including Canadian Tire in nearby Orangeville if you need supplies or minor repairs.
