Waste & Recycling

Landfill

In November 2025, the Kamsack Landfill is going to be permanently closed.  Decommissioning will occur in 2026.

In it's place, a new transfer station has been created.  The transfer station is located on the same site as the previous Landfill.  At an estimated 1 km west of Kamsack, turn south.  At 1.5 km, turn east into the site.

 

Please pick up landfill tickets at the Town Office prior to going to the landfill. 

No payment options on site.
