Garbage & Recycling

The R.M. of Piney encourages sustainable, green living. We strive to provide waste disposal services that are convenient and effective.

A plastic bottle will take 600 years to decompose in the environment. A glass bottle takes a million. The R.M. of Piney strives to protect the environment from litter and irresponsible waste removal. We ask that you take advantage of one of our waste disposal sites and recycling program to help keep our municipality beautiful and clean.

Transfer Station Sites

The RM of Piney has three transfer station sites with varying days of operation.

Hours:

Winter hours are 9 AM – 5 PM (November – March)
Summer hours are 10 AM – 6 PM (March – November)
