Citizens are reminded to please have green and grey carts at the curb for waste pick up by 7 a.m. on their designated collection day.
To view your collection day, please see the 2024 Waste Collection Calendar.
Please ensure that green and grey cart lids are closed and the wheels are against the curb with one metre (3 to 4 feet) of clearance between each cart and vehicles parked on the road. Please also give the same clearance above the carts. This space gives the automated arm on the waste truck room to safely pick up and empty the carts as shown in the picture to the right.
Please place clear or blue transparent bags of recyclable materials at the curb but not on the roadway.
Residents are asked to retrieve grey and green carts from the curb after they have been emptied on your collection day. The carts are assigned to your specific address and must stay at this address even if you move.
Property owners can request an additional green and/or grey cart for $7.27 per month by calling the Town of Ponoka Office at 403-783-4431.
