Parkland County does not offer curbside waste and recycling pick-up for residents (except in the hamlet of Entwistle, see below for details). You can drop off your regular household waste and recyclables at no charge at any of the transfer stations with a solid waste disposal card. You must show this card to the site operator before you can get rid of your waste.

Due to global recycling changes:
Certain items will no longer be accepted in blue bag recycling at any of our transfer stations. Effective September 3, 2019. Download the "What Goes Where" cheat sheet
