Green Cart Biweekly Pick Up Starts in November

Beginning the first week of November, curbside pick-up of green carts in the Town of Ponoka will switch to the winter schedule, with collection happening every second week until the end of April 2027.

What Goes in My Green Cart?

Compostable items that can be placed in the green carts include most kitchen food waste, coffee grounds, cooking oil, eggshells, poultry bones, shellfish, tea bags, certified compostable food containers, food-soiled newsprint and cardboard, facial tissue, food-soiled paper towels and napkins, and leaves.

Please do not put plastics, recyclables or household garbage in the green carts. For example, no diapers, tin cans, chunks of wood or plastic bags please.
