Construction Update

Construction is nearing completion!

The larger TIPP building and two additional kiosks are now complete, and the roads widened. A small section of the roadway near the TIPP building and sawtooths will be paved in the coming months. 

Incoming waste is still being redirected onsite to the roll-off bins for the duration of the expansion.

Our Scalehouse and onsite staff will continue to provide direction for any the changes. Please note wait times may be affected.

COVID-19 IMPACTS

As a reminder, we ask visitors to limit visits and only use the facility when absolutely necessary to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

For the latest updates on COVID-19, visit www.parklandcounty.com/COVID19

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 Spring, 2021.

Subscribe at the bottom of the page to receive email updates throughout the project!

Here’s what we’re doing:

Phase 1 - Complete

  • Widening the road into the transfer station and adding a second scale access for improved access both in and out.
  • Demolishing and rebuilding the compost disposal area to be safer and more structurally sound.

Phase 2

  • Demolishing and rebuilding an expanded waste transfer building (TIPP building) to serve you better.

Services not available during construction:

  • Metal (as of May 26, 2020)
  • Grass
  • Leaves, brush, branches
  • Drywall
  • Take it or leave it

We recommend composting grass, leaves and brush piles on your property for the duration of construction or visiting an alternate transfer station. 

Drywall can be added to the main waste stream. 

Please Note:

The PCTS will not be able to accommodate dumping trailers during construction. This services will be offered again once construction is complete.

FAQs

When will the project start and finish?

The estimated construction timelines for the Parkland County Transfer Station construction is April 2020 – March 2021.

How will this construction affect my use of the transfer station?

Certain areas will be closed during construction, we ask those in need of services to use other locations.

For a full list of transfer stations in the County, visit the transfer stations page or download the transfer station brochure map.

What are you doing to manage the traffic flow?

Staff will be on hand at the PCTS to manage on site traffic and direct people to the proper disposal areas. 

The Kapasiwin and Cholla waste sites will also be open on Tuesday's from May - September, 2020 to help alleviate traffic.

Will this construction affect any of the other transfer stations in the County?
Not directly, higher volumes of visitors to other sites may increase wait times across the county.
What services are no longer available due to construction?
Phase 1 - April 2020:
  • Grass*
  • Leaves, brush, branches*
  • Clean wood
  • Drywall recycling (placed into waste stream for the duration of the project)
  • Take it or leave (already stopped due to COVID-19)
Phase 2 - June 2020
  • Metal (in addition to phase 1 items)

*For grass, leaves, brush and branches we strongly recommend composting on your property. Either allow it to fully compost on your property, or bring to the transfer station once construction is completed.

Can I still use the take it or leave it area? What about compost?

Both Take it or Leave it and compost will remain closed until construction is complete.

For grass, leaves, brush and branches we strongly recommend composting on your property. Either allow it to fully compost on your property, or bring to the transfer station once construction is completed.

Where can I go if the part of the transfer station I need is closed?
