We want your feedback! Solid Waste Strategic Plan Survey
Leduc County is completing a solid waste strategic plan to identify service levels and waste management priorities.
We are conducting a survey to assess Leduc County residents’ opinions and perspectives about solid waste management in the county. Specifically, we are looking for your feedback about the programs and services the county provides, and the issues you think the county should prioritize. This survey is confidential and your responses will remain anonymous.
If you don’t have access to a computer, please call our office at 780-770-9040 and we will make arrangements to provide you with a paper copy of the survey.
For more information, contact Leduc County utilities by email or call 780-770-9040.
Landfills and transfer stations
In addition to the transfer stations, Leduc County residents may access the Leduc and District Regional Waste Management Facility and the City of Leduc Eco Station.
