Landfill Hours and Fees

Atikokan Municipal Landfill and Transfer Station
The Town of Atikokan owns and maintains a landfill site located on Pipeline Road and a Transfer Station (the former landfill) located on Highway 622.
 

Using the Transfer Station:
The transfer station will accept almost all household waste.
Pull up to the transfer station and hand the landfill attendant your dump token, they will direct you where to dump. If you are dumping material that does not require a token, you will still need to see the attendant so they may inspect your load and direct you.
For most household waste, the attendant will direct you to the transfer bins. Simply back up the ramp to the large yellow bin and unload your waste.
