Green Cart collection in Red Deer will shift to every other week starting on Nov. 11.
Green Carts will be collected on the same week as Blue Carts from Nov. 11 to March 31, at which time Green Carts will return to weekly collection when seasonal yard waste increases.
“We see a steep decrease in organics collected over the winter months, so switching Green Cart collection to every other week in the winter helps optimize efficiency of the program while still meeting residents’ needs,” said Waste Diversion Specialist, Marilyn Moore. “Blue and Black Cart collection schedules won’t change, but Green Carts will be collected every other week until the end of March when yard waste increases.”
Updated cart collection calendars are available on the City website at reddeer.ca/CartCollection.
Residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to reach out by calling the Blue Line at 403-340-BLUE (2583) or emailing carts@reddeer.ca.
