Regional landfill passcards
When the local waste transfer site is closed, or for larger loads, residents can haul their refuse to the Redcliff Cypress Regional Landfill. Residents can request a landfill pass card from the county office, which allows them to haul into the landfill, without paying scale charges, to a maximum of $400 per year.
