The Slave lake Regional Landfill provides a means for area residents and business owners to dispose of recyclable materials, solid waste and special items. When planning your visit, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to closing times, and 30 minutes prior for large loads.
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.
Let us know what's in your landfill load.
It's important that you let the scale attendant know everything that’s in your load. This helps ensure the safety of our staff as well as the safety of the environment. In order to maintain low fees and low operational costs, materials must be sorted into designated areas so they can be diverted from the Class II Landfill.
