Scene clean-up charge policy
Minor clean-up charges as the result of a motor vehicle crash, such as the sweeping up of debris and small fuel spills, that occur in British Columbia are included in the tow services charges.
Exception: ICBC may only pay clean-up charges for incidents occurring outside of British Columbia that are treated as third party damage, such as damage to a roadway. For these situations, the municipality or jurisdiction of the crash may impose responsibility by law.
