We kindly ask customers for their patience and cooperation during this time. Thank you for continuing your waste sorting and recycling efforts!
The Eco Station offers residents, schools and businesses from Leduc, Leduc County and Beaumont a staffed drop-off location designed to divert a range of material from the landfill. Materials are accepted free of charge, with the exception of general household waste (currently limited to 2 free bags per household).
We welcome small loads of materials for recycling and safe disposal. Due to the size of the facility, the size of each load may be limited to material that fits in the trunk of a car or the back of a pickup truck. Large loads, construction or renovation waste and large items (furniture and appliances) can be taken to the Leduc and District Waste Management Facility for disposal. Yard waste can be taken to the Yard Waste Transfer Station for disposal.
