No, the Town of Stony Plain is committed to environmental responsibility by protecting and managing our environmental impact to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. It has been proven that bi-weekly waste collection helps promote the use of organic waste services and recycling due to limited waste capacity. 

Public Works staff can complete repairs to your bins, such as replace broken wheels and broken vents. When they come to do the repair, if it cannot be repaired, they will replace your bin. To request a new bin email publicworks@stonyplain.com with your name, address, phone number, the problem with your bin, and the number on the front of your bin. We will create a work order for the team to come repair or replace your organics bin.

• A great start is to rethink how you purchase, use and dispose of various products
• The three R’s of recycling — reduce, reuse and recycle — are listed in order of priority
• Before you recycle, try to reduce and reuse first

In some areas of town, where space allows, waste is collected in the back alley. During the spring thaw road bans are in place to protect the roads from damage. During April and May, waste collection is moved from the back alley to the front curb collection in these areas. Watch for signs and reminders in the spring.

• The area west of 48th Street and south of CN Rail Tracks
• Meridian Heights Subdivision
• St. Andrews Subdivision

On July 10, 2023, Administration presented survey results to Council following completion of the Waste Cart Location Pilot that begin in November 2022 and concluded at the beginning of 2023. The Town neighbourhoods of Meridian Heights, St. Andrews, and West of 48th Street & South of the CN Railroad tracks have historically had their waste collected on their front roadway during the road ban months of April to the start of June.  The Town conducted a pilot project that started the road ban in November instead of April. The presentation focused on feedback received from residents and the results of a survey conducted during the pilot, including:

• 812 door knockers distributed
• 211 surveys completed (26%)
• Rear back alley pick-up year-round was the option of choice for 46% of respondents

Administration has made the decision to revert waste collection back to the status quo of rear alley road bans from April to June when pick up will occur in the front street during that period and will revert to the rear alley for the remainder of the year.
