🚨 Landfill Closed for Maintenance 🚨
The Drayton Valley Landfill will be closed starting today — Thursday, Aug. 27 — with an anticipated reopening date of Monday, Aug. 31 due to required road maintenance on the site.
The wet weather followed by a period of hot/dry conditions has caused severe rutting on the road that has made it impassible by vehicle; we’ve had to tow a few folks out. Even the garbage trucks can’t get through.
This will affect today's (Thursday, Aug. 27) curbside collection for Zone 3 as shown in red on the map: https://www.draytonvalley.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2024-Waste-Collection-Schedule_Page_2-scaled.jpg
Anyone who was missed today, please leave your bins out and our crews will be back on Friday, Aug. 28 to complete the route.
✅ The Recycling Depot remains open and continues to accept blue bags, cardboard, glass, plastic containers, tin cans, and cartons. The full list of accepted materials can be found at: https://www.draytonvalley.ca/recycling-depot/
We anticipate reopening the landfill on Monday, Aug. 31 once maintenance has been completed and it is safe for vehicles to entire the site. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
