Waste transfer stations

As a Leduc County resident, you can dispose of household waste, compost, yard waste and recycling at any Leduc County transfer station. Transfer stations are not intended for institutional, commercial, industrial or agricultural use.

Transfer station access card

Transfer station access cards must be presented to gain access to a Leduc County transfer station. We will mail you your free annual card by Aug. 31 each year. Your card will be active until Aug. 31 of the following year. You only need to apply for an access card if you need a replacement or additional card.

Apply for an access card

Transfer station access cards are only provided to property owners living in Leduc County. Complete the transfer station access card application form and submit it by email or drop it off to:

Public Works and Engineering

Fees

You will need to pay a fee for a replacement or additional access card. Review the public works section of the Fees and Charges bylaw to find the appropriate fee. We accept cash, cheque or debit payments in-person at County Centre during regular business hours.

Temporary access card for summer village residents

Summer village residents can purchase a one-time use access card for the Sunnybrook transfer station. Single-use cards cost $20. For more information, please call 780-979-6185.

Leduc and District Waste Management Facility (LDRWMF) access cards

Leduc County residents may utilize the LDRWMF to dispose of waste; however, an access card is required to gain entrance to and use the facility. The LDRWMF access card is a separate card from Leduc County's transfer station access cards - you cannot use your transfer station access card to gain entrance to the LDRWMF. Residents must keep both cards – one for the LDRWMF and one for Leduc County's transfer stations. 

Apply for a LDRWMF access card

For assistance with the LDRWMF access cards, contact the facility directly at 780-980-9609.
