Landfills and Transfer Stations

There are landfills, waste transfer stations and 24/7 bin sites available for your use throughout the Peace River Regional District. You can drop off your waste at a transfer station or bin site, where the waste will be transferred to the nearest landfill or recycling depot.

If you are a resident, we will issue you free cleanup coupons each year for disposing your waste. You can view our tipping fees and discover how sorting can save you money. Have a business? Learn how to apply for a Commercial Landfill Account.

Share Sheds

We have Share Sheds at regional landfills and waste transfer stations that accept certain re-usable unwanted household items. You can leave unwanted items that are in good condition to be used by someone else. Make sure that the items you leave in a Share Shed are clean and in good working order. When using a Share Shed, please make sure to leave the premises as you found it or better.

Please Note

A waste station attendant will review your items before accepting them. Share Sheds are self-service and monitored by waste station attendants who unlock each shed during station operating hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

View the frequently asked questions about our landfills and waste transfer stations. You can email Environmental Services if you have any other questions or need more information.

The landfills and waste transfer stations are open on all holidays except:

  • Christmas Day (December 25)
  • New Year’s Day (January 1)

Our aim is to keep the sites open and accessible during the other holidays for you to use.

The Regional District Board approves the schedule for rural waste transfer stations. If you're unhappy with the operation hours, you can contact the Regional Board and PRRD staff can look at shifting hours.

Please note that attendants are not required to unload residents' waste from vehicles; however, upon request and to aid with accessibility concerns, most attendants will assist you if they are able.

This is service fee for utilizing a Peace River Regional District infrastructure (scale) without using the facility to drop off waste. The cost is for use of the scale to weigh the material in question and to be provided with a scale ticket without using the facility.

This is an administration fee to cover the staff time and supplies for providing duplicate printouts.

The bulky bins are available during the spring and fall for two weeks during Seasonal Cleanup.

The process for getting bids for available contractors to provide the best price take time and has to be planned well. Setting the bins out in May and October long weekends offers consistency in that people can plan their bigger clean-up projects around these times more easily.

If you have any concerns with the operations at a waste disposal site, have ideas on how we can better serve your needs or would like to report an issue with our equipment, please email us or call 250-782-3200
