Fire Restriction in Effect

Due to the increasingly dry conditions, the FIRE ADVISORY has been upgraded to a FIRE RESTRICTION, for Saddle Hills County. 

Prohibited

Open campfires in back country or random areas, fireworks and exploding targets on crown land, brush and debris burning for non-agricultural purposes, controlled burns of brush piles greater than 2 cubic meters in size

Campfires in non-combustible, manufactured firepits, charcoal briquettes in approved barbeques, portable propane firepits, gas or propane stoves and barbeques, catalytic or infrared style heaters, wood fires in an enclosed facility or device, which has a chimney with a spark arrestor, burning barrels that are a minimum distance of 30 m away from structures and 6 m away from combustible materials.

 

Hand-piled agricultural brush and debris burning that is less than 2 cubic meters in size is allowed, if it is in a cultivated field or another fire guard is in place, a Fire Suppression Plan is in place, and Municipal Notification Requirements have been met

Garbage Collection Sites

We operate seven Garbage Collection Sites throughout the County, providing the opportunity for residents to dispose of solid waste and recyclables 24/7.

These sites are composed of 6-yard garbage and recycling bins and are typically used for bags of household garbage and recycling. To ensure that our Garbage Collection Sites remain as clean and safe as possible, we ask that those who use them refrain from dumping inappropriate materials or household waste outside of full or overflowing bins.

You can find the location of each of these sites below.
