As of May 26 the Parkland County Transfer Station expansion will be starting phase two!
This means there will be some changes to traffic direction and flow through the facility as we rearrange our recycle, E-waste, and household hazardous waste collection areas.
Our Scalehouse and onsite staff will be providing direction during these changes. Please note wait times may be affected.

The Parkland County Transfer Station (PCTS) is expanding to serve you better!
The PCTS is our most used transfer station in the County and it’s in need of some upgrades. In the upcoming weeks, parts of the station will be temporarily shut down to facilitate the expansion.
The estimated completion for the Parkland County Transfer station upgrade is December, 2020.
