Seasonal changes to green cart collection begins Nov. 11

Nov 7, 2024 | 1:21 PM

The City of Red Deer announced Thursday that seasonal changes to green cart collection are on the way.

Beginning Monday, Nov. 11, the city will only pick up green carts every other week instead of weekly.

They will now be picked up on the same week as blue carts from Nov. 11 up until March 31, 2025. They will return to weekly pick ups 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.”
