Convenientwaste management options.
We manage the Regional Landfill just west of the Town of Slave Lake.
We also work with other landfills, transfer sites and recycling facilities to ensure communities in the Lesser Slave River region have access to convenient, sensible and sustainable recycling and waste management option.
Fees are collected at the Slave Lake landfill to help cover the costs for trucking and processing specific materials. Recyclable materials are accepted for free, and are picked up by third-party recycling contractors.
- All loads must be covered or otherwise secured
- Operators reserve the right to refuse any load
