The Eco Station offers residents, schools and businesses from Leduc, Leduc County, Calmar, Devon and Beaumont a staffed drop-off location designed to divert a range of material from the landfill. Materials are accepted free of charge for recycling, with the exception of general household waste, where the first bag is free and additional bags are $2 each (exact change must be provided).

We welcome small loads of materials for recycling and safe disposal. Due to the size of the facility, the size of each load may be limited to material that fits in the trunk of a car or the back of a pickup truck. Large loads, construction or renovation waste and large items (furniture and appliances) can be taken to the Leduc and District Waste Management Facility for disposal. Yard waste can be taken to the Yard Waste Transfer Station for disposal. Free compost is available from May to September, or while supplies last (maximum of four 5-gallon pails of compost per household per week.)

Scavenging is not permitted. No person may take materials left for collection.
