Proposed Project

This project is to construct a new solid waste transfer station (SWTS) for Cowessess First Nation on previously cultivated land. New infrastructure includes an access road, full enclosure fence with gate, operator building, grade separated WTS with roll-off (RO) bins for some residential waste, and diversion bays for recyclable material.
