Edson & Hinton Landfill

There is no cost for Yellowhead County residents for the Edson & Hinton landfills.  www.edson.ca  www.hinton.ca

Wood products are not accepted at transfer sites during high wildfire hazard bans or fire permit restrictions.

During a fire ban or fire permit restrictions 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.
