The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is reopening the Kelly Lake Transfer Station on May 13, 2025. The station returns to service after a year-long closure that began mid-April 2024 due to security concerns at the facility.
We have successfully addressed the security issues by converting the site to operate off a propane generator. This upgrade reflects our commitment to providing reliable waste management services to the Kelly Lake community and surrounding area. The Kelly Lake Transfer Station will resume the following regular hours of operation:
Hours of operation (Alberta time)
- Sunday, Monday, Thursday: closed
- Tuesday: 8am to 2pm
- Wednesday: 12pm to 2pm
- Friday: 8am to 2pm
- Saturday: 10am to 6pm
Background
The PRRD Board resolved to temporarily close the Kelly Lake Transfer Station following a meeting on April 18, 2024, after multiple break-ins resulted in stolen diesel fuel from the site’s generator. The PRRD responded by converting the site to run off propane, installing a propane powered generator to improve security and prevent similar incidents in the future.
