GARBAGE & RECYCLING

Thanks to the amazing citizens of our Town the change over in garbage pick-up systems has gone very well. Always a bit of a learning curve with anything new!

If you have found that your cart wasn't emptied it could be one of a couple of reasons...



• the cart must be placed on the street, not in the driveway, on the sidewalk, or on the boulevard - wheels to the curb

• the cart cannot be overfilled as the truck cannot dump it if garbage is falling out

• not enough space is left around the cart for the driver to maneuver close enough to lift it

Thank you to everyone who has politely called in with questions - we are always happy to address your concerns!

SNOW REMOVAL

As stated in the Snow and Ice Management Policy, the Town of Wainwright will conduct clearing of public roadways, sanding and snow removal on a priority basis to allow for prompt response by emergency services, access to hospital facilities, and reasonable vehicle access to the primary roadways, businesses, industries, schools, residences and recreational facilities.


Priority #1, Primary arterial (yellow on the map), are the major through roads that allow for travel across the entire town.


Priority #2, Access to Emergency Facilities & Schools, (green on the map), provides access to emergency facilities such as the Fire Hall, RCMP Detachment Building, Hospital, Airport runway, as well as roadways adjacent to the schools.


Priority #3, Primary Collector (blue on the map), provides access to the commercial, industrial and residential areas.


Priority #4, Primary Local (pink on the map), connects the residential or commercial properties to the road.


As shown on the Residential Snow Removal map, the town has been split into 4 zones for snow removal. These zones will be cleared on a rotating basis to provide for an equitable service to all residents.


The completion time for the entire town should be 10 to 14 days, depending upon snow accumulation, temperature, and unforeseen equipment breakdowns.
