The County of Wetaskiwin is modernizing its waste management system by replacing paper Transfer Station cards with permanent plastic cards using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This upgrade will make access to Transfer Stations more efficient by securely and automatically identifying cardholders.
Instead of receiving a paper card in the mail this year, residents must apply for a permanent card online at the County of Wetaskiwin website or in-person at the County office starting August 1, 2025. Once the application is processed, permanent cards will be delivered by mail or available for pick up at the County office. This card does not expire and should be stored in a secure location. This card must be presented in order to access and use any County Transfer Station.
Landowners within the County are eligible for one free Transfer Station card. Additional and replacement cards will be issued at a cost of $25.00.
Permanent Transfer Station cards will officially come into effect in September 2025. Paper cards will no longer be accepted at Transfer Stations after October 1, 2025.
“The County is pleased to move towards modern technology in this initiative,” stated Reeve Josh Bishop. “The new RFID system will allow the County to provide reliable and cost-effective waste management services to residents in the long-term.”
