Landfill Schedule (April to September 2020)

Location and Contact

The Edson Landfill is located just south of Town on 54th Street.

Ph: (780) 723-6476

Demolition Material Disposal

Acceptance of demolition material at the Town of Edson Landfill requires the following approval steps to be taken by the proponent:

The proponent must acquire a development permit from the Town of Edson if the structure is located within the Town boundary.
All proponents must have the structure proposed for demolition tested and a Hazardous Material Assessment report prepared and submitted by a Certified Laboratory to the Town of Edson Landfill Manager.

If the assessment results indicate that the materials are within the parameters of the Town landfill’s approval from Alberta Environment, the Landfill Manager will arrange a delivery schedule.

No deliveries or material will be accepted without the approval of the Landfill Manager.

For further information please contact Public Works at (780) 723-6461.

Temporary Changes / Transfer Station * UPDATE July 23, 2020

* UPDATE July 23, 2020

The Edson Landfill is set to reopen to full operations.

In early 2019, the Edson Landfill was converted to a transfer station following a large and persistent fire in the landfill cell.

Approvals have now been granted and a new cell constructed at the site. This will open to the general public on Wednesday, July 29th. Previous restrictions on large loads and demolition materials will be removed at that time. However, it is still required that Public Works be notified in advance for larger projects prior to being brought to the landfill. This will ensure the materials fall within the landfill license and preparations can be made.

Some operational changes are expected on reopening. We ask that residents follow any signage and direction from staff to ensure a smooth transition. The current fees and schedule will remain the same.

Over the next week there may be some changes implemented and some loads redirected for training purposes.

For further information please contact Public Works at (780) 723-6461.
