P
ublic Works is responsible for
the administration, supervision
and maintenance of infrastructure,
including County-owned roads, water
distribution and wastewater treatment
facilities. In order to carry out its tasks,
the department maintains a fleet of
equipment and vehicles. Staff maintain
the transportation network through road
repairs, cold mix overlays, cold-mix
patching, graveling, dust suppression,
hydro axing, mowing and winter
maintenance/snow plowing.
The Solid Waste Management
department is responsible for
processing recyclables, organics and
garbage generated within the County
via its waste management facilities. It
also provides assistance and education
to residents and businesses within
the region to achieve proper waste
separation and diversion.
Transfer Stations & Main Landfill
Lac Ste. Anne County owns eight
Transfer Station sites. The County is a
member of the Highway 43 East Waste
Commission which owns the Main
Landfill. Each location includes recycling
facilities. County residents must show
identification, in addition to their
Transfer Station Card, when dropping
off residential waste. All furniture
with springs are subject to a tippage
surcharge. Examples of items include
(but are not limited to): sofas, lazyboy
chairs, box springs and mattresses. The
surcharge revenue is used each year
to rent a shredder for these items, thus
reducing the amount of space being
taken up at the Landfill.
Transfer Station Disposal Permit
In addition to a valid, government-issued
piece of photo identification, all County
residents must present their Transfer
Station Disposal Permit to the Site
Attendant. Applications for a Transfer
Station Disposal Permit are available
through the County office. If you rent
property in the County and would like
a Transfer Station Disposal Permit and/
or a Transfer Station Card, your landlord
will need to complete the Application
Form on your behalf. Those residents
without a Disposal Permit must take their
waste to the Main Landfill site.
Hours of Operation for
Transfer Stations & Landfill
Residents can download a PDF of the
locations and hours of operation of the
County’s Transfer Stations and the Main
Landfill at LSAC.ca/Landfill-Locations.
Road Bans & Restrictions
Check the latest road restrictions and
bans at LSAC.ca/Road-Bans. When
necessary, the County implements road
bans on oiled and chip seal coat roads,
including residential subdivisions. Signs
indicating the allowed axle percentages
are posted, and the ban is enforced by
Enforcement Services.
Reducing the Impact of
Dust on Residential Properties
The purpose of the Calcium Dust
Suppression Program is to assist in the
reduction of the impact of dust on
residential rural properties adjacent to
our County roadways. If you would like
to participate in this 50/50 cost-shared
program, the application deadline is
April 15th of each year.
Get Your Snowplow Flags
County residents can have their driveway
snow cleared during winter months by
purchasing snowplow flags. Under
the seasonal Snowplowing Program,
property owners within the County may
request help to clear snow from their
private driveways. You must purchase a
flag in advance from one of the locations
listed online LSAC.ca/Snowplow-Flags.
After a major snowstorm, opening of
roads takes approximately three days, so
driveway plowing will not normally occur
until the fourth day or later.
