BURNING BARREL GUIDELINES
The disposal of burning barrels and their contents are no longer accepted in the transfer stations. The Drumheller and District Solid Waste Association will not accept burn barrels or their loose contents for disposal at any of the Waste Transfer Stations. The burned material in burning barrels must be extinguished with no hot embers present, and must be contained in either a bag or box prior to disposal at the Waste Transfer Stations.
The Association had experienced a number of fires due to burning barrels being dumped at the transfer stations. When exposed to air, the embers have the ability to ignite the load. In an effort to keep the fires from damaging the containers or the transport trailers, the Association has implemented this new policy.
All Transfer Stations have a fire extinguisher on site. The Public Works Department of Starland County will ensure that all fire extinguishers are checked annually. If possible, Transfer Station attendants should have access to a cellular telephone for emergencies.
TOXIC WASTE ROUND-UP
The County will annually coordinate a Toxic Waste Round-up with the Drumheller and District Solid Waste Management Association. The Round-up will be alternated between the communities of Delia and Morrin.
Wastes in the following categories can be delivered to the specified location:
