Seasonal changes to Green Cart collection in the city of Red Deer will start on November 14 as Green Carts shift to every other week collection.
City officials say Green Carts will be collected every other week on the same week as Blue Carts from November 14 to April 3, 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 and reduce costs in the long-run,” 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 April when yard waste increases.”
Updated cart collection calendars are available on the City website and residents are encouraged to sign up for Cart Collection notifications through Notify Red Deer for personalized reminders about which cart(s) to set out each week. Residents can sign up or add these alerts to their existing account at reddeer.ca/notifyreddeer.
