Recycling

The Town of Drayton Valley is very serious about recycling. We are working hard to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. Through innovative recycling programs, Drayton Valley aims to be a leader in protecting the natural beauty of our community.  A successful recycling program is a team effort. Residents are encouraged to make the decision to reduce, reuse and recycle before garbage is taken out. Recyclables will be collected and delivered to a processor that turns them into high-quality raw materials.

The Town’s curbside collection services are provided by Integrity Waste Solutions. Recycling pick-up will change to Mondays for all Town residents, beginning October 31, 2022.

Recycling collection will happen as normal on statutory holiday Mondays with the exception of Christmas Day and New Years Day should they occur on a weekday. In the event that there are changes to collection, sufficient notice will be provided to residents.
