Waste Collection
The City of Wetaskiwin has contracted Environmental 360 Solutions to collect, divert, and/or dispose of solid waste from local customers, and ensure all disposal operations meet the rigid safety, environmental, monitoring, recording, and reporting parameters of federal, provincial, and local standards.
Waste diversion programs and recycling are important to meeting City Council's solid waste diversion goals and extending the life of our current landfill.
Garbage Subscription Options
The City of Wetaskiwin has a garbage subscription program that offers a user-pay approach to waste handling. Residents pay for waste services based on the volume of garbage they generate.
Garbage is picked up in the City of Wetaskiwin once per week. It is important to know how much garbage you and your family accumulate in a week. Once you have that information, it is easy to choose the correct size cart. Use the chart below to choose the right size:
| Cart size | Volume | Monthly rate |
| Small | 121 litres (approximately 2 standard black garbage bags) | $20.85 |
| Medium | 242 litres (3 to 4 standard black garbage bags) | $41.69 |
| Large | 363 litres (5 to 6 standard black garbage bags) | $62.53 |
*The City of Wetaskiwin does not supply solid waste services to commercial properties.
When does the City pick up waste?
Garbage carts are collected throughout the week from Monday to Friday. Your pickup day depends on which area of the city you live in and is shown on the map below.
To ensure your waste is collected, place your waste collection cart (along with your green cart for organics) out for collection by 7 a.m. on your collection day. Curbside collection uses different trucks for each type of material and will come by at different times throughout the day.
Collection should be complete by 7 p.m. Remember to pull your carts back to their storage spot at the end of the day.
Waste collection will run as scheduled on statutory holidays, with the exception of Christmas Day (December 25).
