The following guidelines are in place to assist Public Works in streamlining waste collection and to ensure cleaner neighbourhoods:

  • Waste carts shall be placed for collection no later than 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, allowing for one meter (3 ft) clearance between any structure, vehicle, or other object.
  • Carts must be returned to their storage location on the premises, within one meter of the dwelling by 11:59 p.m. of the scheduled collection day.
  • The correct placement for carts is on the street, against the curb. If you do not have a curb, the edge of the street is acceptable. If the cart is on your driveway or on the edge of your lawn, sanitation workers will not pick it up.
  • All waste must be securely contained in a disposable garbage bag prior to being placed into waste cart.
  • Ensure the lid of your waste cart is completely closed for collection; carts must not overflow.
  • No garbage bags or refuse shall be allowed outside of the waste cart. Any items left outside the cart will not be collected.
  • Avoid stuffing bags into the cart as this may result in material becoming lodged in the cart. If material becomes lodged, it will not be dumped.

If your household accumulates more bags than the cart will contain, residents can take excess bags free of charge to the transfer station bins located at the Valleyview Recycle Centre, 4205 40th Avenue, during regular operating hours.

Residents are encouraged to reduce, reuse or recycle to divert as much waste as possible from our landfills. Doing so also reduces tipping fees which can help offset future rate increases or help fund future waste management and recycling services.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Valleyview clean!
