A Fire Restriction in effect for Kneehill County, due to current dry conditions. o Under a fire restriction, safe campfires are allowed in fire rings only. o Gas or propane stoves/barbeques and portable propane fire pits are also allowed. o Current fire permits may be suspended or cancelled, and no new fire permits will be issued. If the situation continues to worsen, Kneehill County will put on a fire ban. o As the fire restriction also applies to burn pits, Kneehill County’s Torrington and Linden Transfer Sites are temporarily unable to accept burn pit materials until the fire restriction is lifted. Thank you for your understanding. Please note: This restriction only applies to Kneehill County. The Towns of Three Hills and Trochu, and the Villages of Acme, Carbon, and Linden will have their own restrictions, if any. Please call their offices or visit their websites for details in their jurisdictions. Thank you for your cooperation.

Trochu Transfer Site

When delivering waste to the Trochu Transfer Site, please have your materials sorted.

There are several different areas for a variety of collection.  Electronics, small appliances/electrical items, paint cans, propane bottles, aerosol cans, batteries, large appliances, freon appliances, tires, cardboard, newsprint, wood and other burnable pits, and a metal pile are all available.  This is in conjunction with the bins for normal household garbage.  Furniture bins will be on site from May to October .

All transfer sites are required to follow guidelines set forth by the Alberta Government.  Some items are not accepted at this Transfer Site and will need to be taken to Drumheller Landfill or possibly another Landfill will accept them.

Thanks for your cooperation.
