Waste & Recycling

Smart, savvy and green

The City of Beaumont focuses on our waste program being smart, savvy and green. We work hard to do our part for the environment and our community. That is why Beaumont Waste Services encompasses a curbside collection program that includes waste carts, organics carts, and recycling.

Collection schedule

The 2024/2025 collection schedule [pdf].

We currently have a Monday to Friday waste collection schedule. This schedule is split into two zones, with your household zone having specific dates and changes.

Garbage collection (grey waste cart) is bi-weekly.

Organics collection (green waste cart) is weekly during the summer months and bi-weekly during the winter months. Organics will remain on a weekly schedule until October 27 when it moves back to the regular bi-weekly schedule.

Recycling is picked up weekly.

There will be waste pick up on all Statutory Holidays with the exception of Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. The rescheduled dates are posted in December.

If you are having trouble determining what your collection day is, you can search your address here and it will show you or you can contact the City at 780-929-4306.

Brown Bag Yard Waste Collection happens annually in the spring and is part of the full collection schedule. Please take note of the zones/timelines for each zone.

Our waste contractor will pick up yard waste contained in compostable brown bags. If you’re unable to make the pickup schedule, jump down to the Yard Waste & Landfill information.

Leduc Yard Waste Transfer Station

If you are not able to make it to our facility during the designated times, as a resident of Beaumont you are able to dispose of extra waste at the Leduc & District Waste Management Facility free of charge. Residents are permitted to dispose of an extra 1 tonne (1000 kgs) of household waste per year at the facility. You can also bring yard waste to the Yard Waste Transfer Station in Leduc.

The City of Beaumont offers a curbside collection of large items in the spring.

Outside the collection dates, you can:

  • Take the materials to the Leduc and District Regional Waste Management Facility, free of charge. If you do not already have a member card, be sure to bring proof of Beaumont residency so you can obtain one.
  • The Materials Recovery Facility at the Leduc Landfill allows individuals to drop off items that may be reused by another family. Drop these items off for free, and you might find something to take home in return.
