Beginning October 1, Roseridge will be your single point of contact for garbage and organics collection service.

Collection Schedule

  • Garbage: Every Friday
  • Organics: Every Friday from May 1 to October 31 and every second Friday from November 1 to April 30
  • Recycling (Blue Bag): Every second Friday

Every homeowner is provided with 2 totes, 1 for household waste (black) and 1 for organic material (green). To ensure your waste and recycling is picked up, please ensure your tote(s) and blue bag are curbside by 7 a.m. on collection day.

 What Goes Where?

Organics

Food scraps and approved yard and garden material belong in your green organics cart.

A simple rule to remember: If it doesn’t grow, it doesn’t go.

 

Recycling

Residential recycling continues separately under Alberta’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system and is not part of the Roseridge regional garbage and organics collection program.

 

 

 

 Cart Placement
