Council Approves To Keep The Yard Waste Trailer
April 27, 2022
Council has approved to keep the yard waste trailer and yard waste disposal services at the Dry Dump after receiving feedback from residents greatly supporting the services. Large compost bins will be rented by the Village to be stored at the Dry Dump with a $1.50 yard waste recycling fee added to monthly utility bills over a 12 month period. This fee will cover the cost of renting the compost bins and it will pay for the tipping fees to remove the yard waste when the bins are full.
Alberta Environment will no longer allow the municipality to burn yard waste at the Dry Dump therefore an alternative was needed to dispose of organic material. Residents were in great favour of keeping the yard waste trailer with some comments noting that a second trailer is needed. Council is considering adding the purchase of a larger dump trailer to the 2023 Budget. The yard waste trailer will be put out in May and the monthly yard waste disposal fee will be applied for May’s utility services which areinvoiced at the beginning of June.
The yard waste trailer and Dry Dump will accept grass clippings, garden refuse, leaves and tree branches. The following items will not be accepted: kitchen waste, firepit ashes or animal feces.
