Residents will see a change to their curbside waste collection schedule starting the week of May 5th. The collection system is returning to a three-stream model, meaning weekly pickup for organics and recycling bins.
The City reminds residents that green carts are designated for organic materials such as food scraps, pet waste, and grass clippings. When using bags for compostable items, only certified compostable bags are permitted; plastic bags are not acceptable.
For detailed information on proper sorting of waste materials, residents can view the City’s Sorting Central guide. Users of the City of Chestermere Recycling App can also find the Sorting Central guide within the app for easy reference.
