Garbage bins and dumpsters are great, but not all items are safe to toss into them. Here’s a list of items that should not be placed in any municipal bin or transfer station, or dumped at the landfill. For the safety of yourself and others, please dispose of these items during the annual Hazardous Material Round Up.

If you’ve got oil / filters / containers that you want to dispose of safely, the Wainwright Regional Landfill can help! The new oil recycling program is now available.
