Please check your collection calendar to confirm when your collection dates are. The garbage cart is collected every second week, and the food scraps cart is collected bi-weekly in winter and weekly for the remainder of the year. Please ensure you set out your waste before 7am on the collection day.
If the cart is set out on the collection day by 7am, and was not collected, please check if a tag has been attached to your cart. This tag, called an ‘Oops Tag’, will explain why your cart(s) was not emptied. Please correct the issue for the next collection day.
In case you have excess garbage before the next collection day, you can drop off up to 2 clear bags at an Eco Station free of charge. Please do not include food scraps, other organics or recycling in these bags, otherwise there will be an extra charge.
If you set out your cart on collection day by 7am, and your cart(s) were not collected and there is no Oops Tag attached, please report the missed collection using Wastewise, online at edmonton.ca/waste or via the app, or call 311 to report it.
