We provide residents with weekly waste collection, as well as several special collection events including Christmas Tree Collection, Compost Giveaway, Household Hazardous Roundup, and Take-It or Leave-It.
Curbside collection includes three streams
- Garbage (grey cart) - collected weekly.
- Organics (green cart) - collected weekly from May to October and then monthly (third week of the month) from November to April.
- Recycling (blue bag) - unlimited, collected weekly.
We contract out waste services, which is provided by Green for Life Environmental (GFL). Learn more from our Waste Management Bylaw and the Recycling Council of Alberta.
