Fire destroys facilities at Sylvan Lake Waste Transfer Site

RCMP are investigating following a fire at the Town of Sylvan Lake’s Waste Transfer Site.

Town officials say the blaze destroyed the ‘Drop n’ Swap’ and e-Waste tent structures, after a fire began around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday Oct. 25, 2025.

However, the town notes there was no damage to the rest of the facility, including the nearby recycling depot and used oil depot.

The town says the facility will open as scheduled on Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. but will not accept e-waste and drop n’ swap items until further notice.
