Tips to ensure that your waste is collected

Here are some tips to ensure that your waste is collected as per the Town of Drayton Valley’s Waste Management Bylaw

2019-02-E

Section 3: Preparation of Waste Matter for Collection

All Waste Materials will be deposited in the Container designated and supplied by the Town for Waste Materials but limited to the capacity of the Container with the lid closed.

Section 4 Collection, Location, Storage and Scheduling

The collection location of the cart shall be the front street and curbside where lane access is not available
Place the cart at the front of the premises immediately adjacent to the curb and/or sidewalk, but not to exceed 1.50 meters from the property line
Where lane pickup is available, the cart shall be located at the rear of the property within 1.50 meters from the property line
Carts must be a least 1.0 meter from everything around it
Place in back lane or at front curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day
Place your cart so that there is at least 1 metre (3 ft) of space between your carts and other objects (e.g. parked cars, power poles, utility boxes)
Leave 3 meters (10 ft) of space above the carts. If carts are placed underneath a tree or power line they cannot be collected safely
Place your cart so the arrow on the lid points toward the street/alley
Please remove your carts from the roadway by 9:00 pm on collection day
Ensure the lid on the waste cart is fully closed.

TWO BINS

Each household in Drayton Valley was provided with a new garbage bin. If your household has more than one bin, we ask that you please call the Town to have this bin registered and signed up for a second subscription, or we will come and remove the bin free of charge! Our garbage provider will only collect garbage in the assigned bins, and will only collect one bin per household unless correctly registered!

If you did not receive an updated bin and are still utilizing an old bin, please contact the Town at 780-514-2200 and we will arrange for this bin to be replaced with the correct new one! If you would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact the Town at 780-514-2200!

STOLEN WASTE TOTES

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.
