Eco Stations will hold four free weekend events at all locations on the following dates:
The events will run from 9am-7pm. Please be ready to unload your own vehicle and plan for lineups due to high expected demand. Free weekends do not apply to the Edmonton Waste Management Centre for residential drop-offs.
Residents receiving communal collection can drop off properly sorted food waste at any Eco Station. Food scraps in BPI-certified compostable bags or paper bags can be added directly to containers, while pails and clear plastic bags need to be emptied out.
Residents can continue dropping off paint. However, the paint exchange is paused until further notice.
