WASTE COLLECTION
To ensure your garbage and recycling is picked up on your collection day, use the following tips:
- ensure your garbage bin is in the correct location and has at least 1 metre of clearance on all sides, and above
- ensure your bin is out for collection by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day
- ensure your bin is free of ice and snow during the winter months
- place your bin so that the arrows are pointing towards the street, and the wheels are closest to the curb
- all waste must be bagged and inside the bin with the lid fully closed, overflowing carts will not be collected
For more information, please contact the Town at 780-514-2200.
MISSED COLLECTION
If your waste was not collected, it can be reported through the Town’s Customer Service portal or by calling the Public Works department at 780-514-2240.
REPLACEMENT BINS
If you believe that your tote has been stolen, please call the RCMP to report the theft. The police report can be presented to Public Works who will work with the contractor to have a new tote delivered to your home. The Town will pay for the replacement of a stolen bin up to once a year per household. A $90.00 replacement fee will be charged to replace any subsequent stolen bins.
Each household in Drayton Valley is provided with one garbage bin. Households may obtain an additional bin and will be charged an additional $19.00/month for waste pick up services. Households must maintain all totes supplied by the Town in a clean and sanitary condition at all times.
