Potential programs for your Landfill
Numerous changes have occurred in the last 3 years to this facility. We are no longer the small municipal landfill we were some 30 years ago. The facility has seen enormous growth and expansion along with an ever increasing customer base. The operation of this site has expanded to meet, or exceed, governmental regulations and guidelines. Continued efforts are being made to promote reuse and recycling of household and commercial waste streams. Here is but a few of those impending programs.
- Electronics recycling with an opportunity to expand to smaller household appliances.
- Farm and ranch agricultural plastics and silage bags.
- Clean wood grinding and reintroduction to mulch and bedding for animals.
- Tire collection and recycling.
- Used engine oil recycled and used for heating shops and buildings at the landfill.
Your Landfill has just recently partnered with the Municipal District of Pincher Creek to have the road to our site paved. This joint venture has seen a cleaner and safer roadway to the facility. Our commitment to this project provides 75 % of the funds over a long term debenture.

Future Plans
Over the past few years management has been working on new programs that will further reduce what we put into the landfill. Preliminary plans are in place and being evaluated.
Discussion with Incinerator manufacturers that could lead to reducing what we landfill by 30% and also provide an alternative to the way we currently handle dead stock and wild animal road kill carcasses. This could provide a long awaited solution for our Southern Rancher’s problem in disposing of beef carcasses.
Preliminary plans and architectural drawings have been commissioned for a new Recycling and Reuse centre at the landfill. This building would provide additional capacity to recycle paper, plastic, cardboard and household metal containers. The program would work in conjunction with our current local recyclers, increasing the volume our region could recycle.
Enhanced services within this facility would also include florescent bulb recycling, Propane tank evacuation and disposal, Freon retrieval, sorting and distribution of bicycle parts.
