Reminders
- The landfill has video surveillance of the vehicles passing over the scale to help us improve the screening of the loads and to minimize the time you spend on the scale.
- There is absolutely no scavenging at the landfill.
- You must stop at the scale house after you dump your load.
- Inform the attendant if you’re disposing of elm wood, as it needs to be buried and cannot be stored with the other trees.

Used Oil Centre
The City operates an EcoCentre, at the landfill. It accepts used oil, oil filters and oil containers and pails under 30 litres in size, and antifreeze for recycling, at no charge, from farmers, do-it-yourselfers, and small business operators.
The EcoCentre accepts up to 500 litres of used oil per delivery, with no minimum amount required and there is a drum pump to empty your barrels.
The EcoCentre meets regulated environmental standards and has secondary containment for oil spills and drips from filters or containers. Please do not contaminate your used oil with things like solvents, paint or paint thinners, bleach or other household chemicals, antifreeze, gasoline, pesticides, or water. Contaminated oil cannot be accepted because it is unsuitable for re-refining.
For more information about this program, please contact the Saskatchewan Association for Resource Recovery Corporation (SARRC) at usedoilrecyclingsk.com.
If you have larger amounts of used oil materials to recycle, please call 1-877-645-7275 for information about trucking companies that provide pick-up.
