๐Ÿšจ Landfill Maintenance Update: Aug. 28 ๐Ÿšจ

After an assessment and road repairs got underway over the last 24 hours, we will be extending the closure of the landfill. We are looking at an opening of Wed., Sept. 2.

For Monday & Wednesday pickup, please leave your bins out for collection as normal. Regular Monday recycling pickup will continue as normal.

๐Ÿšจ Landfill Closed for Maintenance ๐Ÿšจ
The Drayton Valley Landfill will be closed starting today โ€” Thursday, Aug. 27 โ€” with an anticipated reopening date of Monday, Aug. 31 due to required road maintenance on the site.

The wet weather followed by a period of hot/dry conditions has caused severe rutting on the road that has made it impassible by vehicle; weโ€™ve had to tow a few folks out. Even the garbage trucks canโ€™t get through.

This will affect today's (Thursday, Aug. 27) curbside collection for Zone 3 as shown in red on the map: https://www.draytonvalley.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2024-Waste-Collection-Schedule_Page_2-scaled.jpg

Anyone who was missed today, please leave your bins out and our crews will be back on Friday, Aug. 28 to complete the route.

โœ… The Recycling Depot remains open and continues to accept blue bags, cardboard, glass, plastic containers, tin cans, and cartons. The full list of accepted materials can be found at: https://www.draytonvalley.ca/recycling-depot/

We anticipate reopening the landfill on Monday, Aug. 31 once maintenance has been completed and it is safe for vehicles to entire the site. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

๐Ÿ”จ ๐ŸŽ“ Creating Opportunities Close to Home

The Northern Lakes College Mobile Training Lab is about more than training; it's about creating opportunities for local students and future trades professionals.

By bringing hands-on learning directly into our region, the Mobile Training Lab helps remove barriers to education and allows students to pursue skilled trades training while remaining connected to their families, communities, and local support networks.

Students enrolled in pre-employment trades programs gain foundational technical knowledge, practical experience, work readiness skills, and a head start toward apprenticeship opportunities. Students will end this 16-week program with required safety tickets and the opportunity to challenge their first year apprenticeship exam, entering the workforce as a second year apprentice ready to go to work!

Join us as we celebrate this exciting investment in education and the future of our community.

๐Ÿ“… Date: Friday, September 11
๐Ÿ“ Location: 6113-50 Ave (Public Works Parking Lot)
โฐ Time: 1:00 p.m.

Everyone is welcome to attend!
