Strathcona County (rural, incl. Ardrossan and the estate pockets): good to know

  • Garbage

    If your lot is 2 acres or less you must subscribe to waste pickup (County or the private hauler The Garbage Man). Over 2 acres you can haul it yourself or subscribe. Rural hamlets must use County pickup. Recycling is weekly; organics and garbage alternate every two weeks. Subscribe through Utilities, 780-449-5514. Routes change in 2027.

  • Burning

    No burning household garbage (fines up to $2,000). Rural open burning needs a fire permit from ePermits, and you must call or text BURN to 1-844-414-2876 each time you burn. Open fires are not allowed in Sherwood Park or rural hamlets. A screened fire pit needs no permit but is not allowed during a fire ban.

    strathcona.ca ↗

  • Snow

    Country residential roads are Priority 4: after a 5 to 7 cm snowfall, all rural roads are cleared within about five days, and more snow sends crews back to Priority 1. Highways are the Province's job.

  • Septic

    Installing or replacing a septic tank, field or mound needs a private sewage permit (ePermits). A permit expires after one year unless extended.

    Agricultural zone (RA): a second house is only allowed on parcels over 32 ha (about 79 acres); accessory buildings are capped at 600 m2 combined. Livestock numbers depend on parcel size; no backyard chickens or bees in urban Sherwood Park.
