Cart and bag placement

Airdrie has a one bag garbage limit

One bag or equivalent, no larger than 90cm x 127cm (35" x 50") and no heavier than 25kg (55 lbs) can be placed at the curb for collection, as per the Waste Management Bylaw.

Residents are welcome to purchase a container to store and set out waste. The container size cannot exceed 120L and waste cannot be loose.

• Ensure one metre (3 feet) of clearance around and above blue or green carts to allow the automated truck to pick up the cart safely.
• The cart must be ON the street/alley. Not on the sidewalk or driveway.
• Ensure the front of blue and green carts face the street/alley (arrows on the cart indicate the front).
• Cart lids need to close, carts will not be collected if they are overfilled.
• Carts need be stored in your garage, by your house or in a shed and not on the street.
