Environment

A cleaner environment for a better tomorrow.

Lesser Slave River remains committed to keeping its environmental footprint to an absolute minimum. As such, the Environment department strives to ensure that all solid waste management and recycling initiatives within the MD are properly planned, implemented, and managed. The MD currently operates three transfer stations in the region, located in Marten Beach, Smith and Flatbush.

The MD's three transfer station sites and one landfill facility provide a means for residents to recycle or dispose of household solid waste. Please consult the information within this section for hours, locations and protocols for each of these facilities. Site schedules may vary during major holidays, so please call ahead for the most current holiday hours and closures.

In addition to operating the regional transfer stations, the Environment department also:

• Maintains recycling activity and waste disposal servicing
• Mitigates long-term environmental risks while providing opportunity to improve recycling activity, diversion rates, and effective handling of solid waste
• Coordinates the processing and sale of recyclable materials collected
• Provides education to residents on healthy environmental practices
• Collaborates with neighbouring municipalities and the Government of Alberta on environmental initiatives
• Operates as the managing body for the Lesser Slave Regional Waste Management Commission
