Lacombe Regional Waste Services Commission owns and operates five solid waste management facilities within the Lacombe County boundaries. We have transfer sites at or near Eckville, Bentley, Alix/Mirror, Spruceville, and a transfer site and class 3 landfill at our Prentiss location (see map below).
We currently transport nearly 10,000 MT of MSW to the class 2 landfill at West Dried Meat Lake. We are licensed to landfill 10,000 MT of dry rubble annually at our Prentiss site, but through co-operative diversionary tactics, we strive to reduce landfill volumes each year.
Please click on the above categories to find specific details and information. Under transfer sites, you will find all information about each site.
Effective July 1st 2020, all LRWSC Transfer Sites will require residents who are accessing the facilities, to present a "proof of residency" to our attendants by showing a utility bill with a service address, or a driver's license with a physical address (no PO BOX, or RR# accepted). Verification of residency will be visually confirmed by the attendants and no personal information will be recorded. This information is collected under the authority of Section 33(c) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
After July 1st 2020, all residential loads that cannot show proof of residency within the County of Lacombe will be turned away. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our legitimate rate paying residents, however, we are trying to eliminate any out of county residents (non contributing member) from utilizing our sites.
The following sites will be closed for repairs. Please go to the designated alternate site for waste disposal during these times.
