Waste & Recycling  

 

       

Cypress County's 8 solid-waste transfer sites accept household waste.  General household garbage is to be placed into the garbage bins.  These bins are hauled to the Redcliff Cypress Regional Landfill where the material is covered daily.  Burning at the transfer sites is no longer permitted.  Certain items listed below, are to be separated and placed in the designated area.
