Curbside Organics Program

Welcome to the City of Wetaskiwin's Curbside Organics Program.

May 6, 2024 marks the launch of the Curbside Organics Program for all houses and semi-detached houses within the City of Wetaskiwin.

Thanks to this program, your household organic waste can be turned into compost instead of going to the landfill. Add food scraps, yard waste, soiled pizza boxes, and more!

  • Hi, I reside in 220,Norwood Court, Wetaskiwin. Our garbage collection was supposed to be this morning. It is not collected today. I kept it outside last night. The blue bin along with it is collected.

  • Will the green bin be picked up weekly in winter too

    Marion asked about 2 months ago

    Hi Marion, the organics carts are picked up every other week through the winter, November to April. Watch the City social media channels and the Pipestone Flyer for reminders on pickup weeks!
