Eco Station Accepted Items and Fees

customer handing crate to eco station attendant

Eco Stations accept household hazardous waste, appliances, electronics and large bulky items that can't be set out with your garbage or recycling.

Eco Stations and the Edmonton Waste Management Centre (EWMC) are no longer accepting tires from commercial customers.

Residents will be limited to 8 tires per day (includes passenger vehicle, motorcycle and ATV tires).

Limiting tire drop-off to residents ensures storage space is prioritized for the disposal of other items at Eco Stations and the EWMC, such as household hazardous waste, electronics, appliances and more.

Eco Station attendants have final say about accepted items and fees.

Payment methods accepted: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Debit and Cash.
