The 2021 Community Clean up is almost upon us and I’m sure we’ve all got plenty of stuff to get rid of since we missed last year’s clean-up due to Covid-19.
As always, please be reasonable and remember that this is for RESIDENTIAL disposal. Contractors and those with commercial waste needs will still need to use the city landfills.
COVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please note that provincial regulations due to COVID-19 are still in effect. For everyone’s safety, you are required to wear a mask and maintain physical distance. We will have hand sanitizer on hand for your use, but due to current restrictions, we request that only one person per household drop off their waste when possible.
Please visit alberta.ca for the latest COVID-19 provincial regulations.
