The Camrose Regional Solid Waste Authority has transferred ownership of the Camrose Regional Landfill to GFL Environmental Inc., the long-time operator of the Landfill.
The Camrose Regional Landfill (Landfill) has been in operation since 1983 and until this year had been governed by the Camrose Regional Solid Waste Authority (CRSWA) but operated by GFL Environmental Inc. GFL are industry leaders in waste management and will be able to optimize the operations and maximize the capacity of the landfill site while ensuring the needs of the local community are met.
In May 2022, the CRSWA had made the decision to transition the Landfill to a Transfer Station operation. With this arrangement, GFL will continue to operate this site for a 25-year period, which will remain as a landfill until the site capacity is reached. At that time, GFL will construct and operate a transfer station for the remainder of the term. This means GFL will be fully responsible for the capital investment required to construct new landfill cells and have assumed the long-term liability related to the closure and post-closure of the landfill.
“The sale and transfer of responsibility for the Landfill lowers both the environmental and economic risks to the City and the CRSWA while ensuring that the services provided to the community are maintained,” Mayor PJ Stasko states.
“The City of Camrose has negotiated that, as part of this deal, the service levels, including hours of operation and the types of materials collected at the landfill, will continue as they are today through a 25-year disposal agreement between GFL and the City,” states General Manager of Infrastructure, Kristofer Johnson.
