Our Services
Our solid waste services are some of the most comprehensive in Alberta. At the curb you can recycle blue bag materials, yard waste, pumpkins and Christmas trees in addition to garbage cart service.
At our Eco Centre and Waste Management Facility (Landfill) there are comprehensive disposal services where recycling is front and centre for tonnes of items.
If items make it into our landfill (they are not burnt or just thrown in a hole), the materials decomposes faster thanks to a bio-reactor which circulates leachate, and is complemented by a landfill gas capture system which captures and flares environmentally damaging methane gas.
