Garbage and Organics

Seasonal Front Curb Collection ends May 30. Back Lane Waste Collection resumes June 1.

During seasonal road bans, waste is transitioned to front curb collection in areas of town. 
Help spread the word to your friends and neighbours!
Back lane waste collection will move to front curb collection in these areas.


• The area west of Highway 779 (excluding Brickyard Drive and 48 Street) 
• Meridian Heights Subdivision
• St. Andrews Subdivision


This change is in place during the seasonal road bans to protect the infrastructure from damage and reduce the need for repairs to the back lanes.
Back lane waste collection will resume after the spring thaw.
 

New Waste Cart Options

Starting September 2, residents can select a waste cart option that matches their household size, waste habits and convenience preferences. Find Your Fit!

Three options will be available for residential waste customers:

  • Downsize to a 120L waste cart: smaller, lighter and easier to store.   
  • Keep the current 240L waste cart: no changes needed!
  • Add a 120L waste cart for 360L combined capacity: a little extra space for larger households with more waste.

Waste collection schedules and frequency will remain unchanged.

The Town will begin accepting change requests by phone or with the online form starting September 2.
