Lethbridge County transfer stations move to standard 9-to-5 hours year-round
The change ends a long-standing split between winter and regular hours at sites run by the Lethbridge Regional Waste Management Services Commission.
Lethbridge Regional Waste Management Services Commission transfer stations will switch to a standardized schedule starting next week, with all sites operating from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. year-round. Lethbridge County director of operations Ryan Thomson said the commission reviewed its past practice of maintaining separate winter and regular hours and decided a single, consistent schedule made more sense.
The days each station is open will not change under the new system. Coaldale and Picture Butte transfer stations will continue to operate Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, while the Iron Springs and Nobleford stations remain open Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Thomson said the standardized hours reflect a permanent shift rather than a seasonal adjustment. Residents can find further details on the updated schedule through the Lethbridge County website.
