A Landfill Access Card is required and used to track weights as you enter and leave through the scales. Access cards are not required to access any County Transfer Stations or Recycling Depots.

One Landfill Access Card is available to each household. Additional or replacement cards can be purchased for $20 by contacting the landfill at 780-567-4194.

Residential soil, under one dump truck in volume, does not require testing.

Topsoil should be conserved and not disposed of at the landfill. Topsoil, sand, admixed soil, as well as any soil with vegetation, is considered a waste and will be charged as such. Soil containing any debris, metal, wood, or concrete is waste.

Clean fill soil is accepted at no charge, it must be clay based and free of debris.

Clean gravel is accepted at no charge, it must be free of debris.

Landfill staff has final decision if the soil is acceptable as fill or considered waste.

All commercial and large residential soil projects will be classified as contaminated and not accepted, until proven otherwise. Soil samples must be submitted to a third-party lab for a Class II Landfill Analysis, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Soluble Chloride (mg/kg), and any known contaminants.

Soil analysis meeting the acceptance criteria for the landfill will be accepted free of charge. If the project volume exceeds 500 tonnes, or if the waste material changes in physical state, odour and /or appearance, the county may request additional sampling to take place at no cost to the county.

Analysis can take up to seven days, please plan accordingly or your loads may be refused.

Please contact the landfill (780-567-4194) regarding any large soil projects for more information.
