Town of Blackfalds COVID-19 update

Starting Monday (March 23) the solid waste management contractor for the Town of Blackfalds will pick up waste and recycling bins by making one pass to pick up totes and will not be separating the materials. This means residents may dispose of recycling into their waste bin. Do not use blue bins for waste to avoid contamination once normal pick up resumes.

Blackfalds’ Transfer Station will remain open and operate as usual.

The Bark Park remains open as town officials note there is currently no evidence that companion animals transmit the virus to humans.

The Town of Blackfalds has added an online Business Resource Centre as a one-stop location to assist local businesses.

AHS has recommended that any public gatherings exceeding 50 should be cancelled. Theerefore the Town of Blackfalds is postponing/cancelling the following:
