Landfill

Landfill tags are now available for Creighton residents to pick up at the Town Office. The tags are designed to hang from the rearview mirror and assist the landfill supervisors in identifying Creighton residents. The tags are free. All that is required is your name, address, plate number and email. This identification system is one of the many efforts Council is implementing to extend the life of our landfill. Non-residents of the Northern Saskatchewan Municipal District may purchase a landfill tag for the use of dumping dry household garbage. If you have any questions regarding the Crreighton Landfill, please contact the Town Office at 306-688-8253.
