Home & Neighbourhood Waste & Recycling Grey Waste Cart
Garbage collection in the grey waste carts happens every 2 weeks.
Any non-hazardous item that isn’t compostable or recyclable probably belongs in your Grey Waste Cart. Examples include any products that are made of Styrofoam, plastic bags/film plastic and glass.
Remember, everything you put in your Grey Waste Cart goes directly to the landfill! Separate out your organics and recyclable items first.
Loose items in your waste cart will likely result in litter when the automated truck tips your bin. Help prevent littering in your neighbourhood by bagging your waste before placing it in the Grey Waste Cart.
There are several collection rules that apply to your Grey Waste Cart and your Green Organics Cart. Collection of your cart is not guaranteed if these rules aren’t followed:
If you would like to rent an additional waste or green cart, please email waste@beaumont.ab.ca. There is a one-time rental fee of $80 and a monthly fee of $12 (per cart/per month) for additional carts.
Please note that only homeowners (aka utility account holders) may rent extra carts. The availability of additional carts vary based on provider supply.
Glass items (such as jars and sauce bottles) currently cannot be recycled in Beaumont and therefore are considered waste. Glass drinking containers (pop, juice or beer bottles) can be returned to the bottle depot for a refund.
