It's Almost March 2021 and The way Edmontonians sort and manage waste at home is changing come next month. Residents will use carts to sort and set out their waste.
The Edmonton Cart Rollout is the first big step in the City of Edmonton's journey to accomplish overall waste reduction and 90 per cent waste diversion through a zero-waste framework.
Waste collection will change. The new service will consist of:
- A garbage cart that will be collected every two weeks.
- Food scraps (120L) cart that will be collected weekly in spring, summer and fall and every two weeks in the winter.
- Recycling collected weekly in blue bags (no volume limits).
- Two seasonal yard waste collections in spring and two in the fall (no volume limits).
