Large Item Disposal

Wabamun residents can dispose of large household items, like couches and mattresses, by bringing them to a Parkland County transfer station. These items will be accepted free of charge throughout the year.

The annual large item drop-off event previously held for Wabamun residents has been discontinued as transfer stations offer more flexibility for residents to drop off large items at any time.

A Solid Waste card, which is available by contacting Customer Service, is required to drop off large items. In most cases, Solid Waste Cards can be picked up at the Wabamun Office.

Visit the transfer station page for more information on locations, hours of operation, and the type of large items that are accepted.

Inclusive Playground Update

The playground located within the Wabamun Waterfront park at 5119 – 50st has been recently upgraded with an accessible swing and ramp, making it inclusive for children of all abilities.

Bylaw Update

As part of the ongoing transition to integrate Wabamun into Parkland County, many bylaws need to be repealed to ensure consistency throughout the County.

Several Wabamun Bylaws will be presented to Council on April 27^th for repeal as these bylaws largely cover matters that already have legislation that should apply across the County including Wabamun. The Bylaws before Council include Non-Tax Financial Services, Planning and Development, and Enforcement Services. The full list of bylaws can be found in the Council Agenda.

The Enforcement Services department will monitor any issues specific to Wabamun that arise and look to include these in the upcoming revisions of Parkland County bylaws.
