Spring waste collection schedule starts the week of April 2. Green food scraps carts switch to collection every week from every two weeks, while black garbage carts continue to be collected every two weeks. Recycling collection continues on a weekly basis.

Collecting food scraps carts weekly throughout the spring and summer supports Edmontonians by reducing odours and allows for more space in carts during periods of time where residents look to dispose of increased yard waste. 

The beginning of spring collection also means yard waste collection days are around the corner. Between April 22 and June 17, running each Monday, every curbside residence will receive two yard waste collection days. 

Edmontonians can find collection dates by downloading the WasteWise app or visiting edmonton.ca/WasteWise. Printed collection calendars can be printed from the website, by calling 311 to request a printed copy be mailed at no charge, or by visiting a local Edmonton Public Library branch to have one printed for between $0.10 and $0.50.

Please set out yard waste in see-through plastic or double-ply paper bags on your seasonal yard waste collection days in spring and fall. Keep bags light enough to lift with one arm, using additional bags to achieve this, if needed.

Starting April 2, Eco Stations will move to summer operating hours and be open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. until November. This year, Eco Stations are opening an hour earlier than previous years. The City made this data-informed change to accommodate higher levels of demand the stations see in the morning, allowing us to serve more Edmontonians.

Eco Stations are convenient waste drop-off sites for your batteries, electronics, household hazardous waste and more. For more information visit edmonton.ca/EcoStations.
