The Cold Lake Regional Waste Transfer Station is located on the south edge of the City, just east of Highway 28, and is part of the Beaver River Regional Waste Management Commission. The Transfer Station is open year round and operates using a summer and winter schedule. See the Tipping Fees for residential and commercial customers.

All loads arriving at the Transfer Station are subject to inspection for prohibited materials and adherence to standards set out by the Beaver River Regional Waste Management Commission and the City of Cold Lake.
