Landfills & Transfer Stations
In an effort to reduce liability and encourage re-using and recycling initiatives Yellowhead County landfill and transfer stations have implemented set hours of operation. All sites are available to all County residents during operating hours. Proof of residency may be required.
The following pre-sorted household items will be accepted at all the landfills and transfer sites:
Household Waste - Dry Fibre (Paper/Cardboard etc.) - Used Oil - Lead-Acid Batteries - Clean Burnable Wood Products & Compostable Yard Wastes (except Entrance)
The following odd items are accepted only at designated sites:
Construction and demolition rubble will be accepted at Wildwood, Peers, and Hinton Regional.
Scrap metal, tires, appliances, and vehicle hulks will be accepted at Parkcourt, Wildwood, Peers, and Hinton landfill sites, and the Marlboro
and Robb transfer stations.
Some scrap metals will be accepted at Niton Junction.
Empty triple rinsed pesticide and herbicide containers will be accepted at Parkcourt, Wildwood, and Peers.
The attendant at each site will direct you. Please contact the attendant prior to disposing of your items.
Sites equipped with MAN GATES will be open until further notice.
Edson & Hinton Landfill
There is no cost for the Edson & Hinton landfills for Yellowhead County residents.
During a fire ban residents are asked to keep any wood at their own properties until all the fire restrictions are lifted. The County is unable to safely burn the wood piles at the transfer station at this time, and the build-up of fuel stockpiles creates a large fire hazard for wildfires. This policy of enacting wood dumping restrictions dependant on the fire hazard will remain in place for the rest of the season, so residents should check with the county prior to taking a load of wood to any transfer station. Please contact the County at 1-800-665-6030 for more information.
Wood products are not accepted at transfer sites when there is a high wildfire hazard and ban in our region.
