Holden, Alberta – The Village of Holden is pleased to announce that it will receive a $296,540.23 dividend from Claystone Waste Ltd. in 2025, representing an increase of $13,479.10 over 2024.
“We are grateful for this significant financial contribution from Claystone Waste, which will be reinvested into our community to benefit our residents,” said Tyler Beckett, Mayor of Holden. “These funds allow us to upgrade some sidewalks and help with pavement repairs on 50 Street, as well as it allows us to place funds in reserves for future infrastructure investments, support recreational programs, enhance municipal services.”
“Claystone Waste was created by our five shareholder municipalities, not only to provide waste management services, but to be an investment that contributes to the success of the community,” said Meryl Whittaker, Chair of the Board of Directors. “Thanks to Claystone’s continued growth, including the success of our composting program and our transfer station network, 2024 was our most profitable year yet and the Board wanted to celebrate through an increase in each shareholder’s dividend payment.”
Claystone Waste Ltd. is a municipally controlled corporation owned by the towns of Tofield and Viking, the villages of Ryley and Holden, and Beaver County. The organization provides waste management services across Alberta, operating a state-of-the-art landfill and advancing sustainable waste solutions through diversion programs.
The annual dividends demonstrate Claystone’s commitment to reinvesting in the communities it serves and helps ensure long-term sustainability and prosperity across the region.
