BIN SITES
WASTE COLLECTION & LANDFILL CARDS
M.D. residents living in Ardmore, Fort Kent, Emerald Estates, Country Lane Estates, and Countryside Estates have curbside waste collection. The Waste Services Department provides a waste cart. Collection is every Tuesday. Service interruptions (due to weather or mechanical issues) are reported at md.bonnyville. ab.ca and on social media platforms. In the event of an interruption, carts should be left out as they will be collected as soon as the weather permits, or the issue is resolved. If using the Ardmore Landfill, you will need to register for a free waste utility account to receive a scan card or smartphone app for access. Call 780-826-3901 for more information including how to register for a card.
Residents living close to Cold Lake can also apply for a landfill card which can be used at the City of Cold Lake’s landfill. This will allow you to drop off household waste at the landfill at no extra charge. Please note — this is for bagged, household garbage only.
TOP 10 TIPS FOR YOUR TRIP TO THE LANDFILL
Did you know the Municipal District of Bonnyville is a leader in waste diversion and recycling in Alberta?
Our successful waste and recycling programs are thanks to you — our residents and ratepayers. We thank you for your help in keeping our M.D. clean and our waste diversion programs leading edge.
Last year, the M.D. sent 7,537,926 pounds of household waste to the Class 2 Landfill in Thorhild County, while we diverted over 1.4 million pounds of recyclable materials.
On page 11 you’ll find some tips for when you head to one of our six landfill transfer stations.
Learn more about the M.D. waste programs at bit.ly/MDWaste or by scanning the QR code. Need more information? Call 780-826-3901.
Before you head to the landfill, transfer station, or bin site, sort your waste and recycling. All of our sites are set up so you can easily place your sorted waste and recycling where they belong. This helps to ensure our sites will last for generations to come.
Clean Wood Only piles are for trees, branches, and raw, untreated, and unpainted lumber.
All treated, painted, or laminated wood, as well as furniture, large plastics, and other bulky materials must be disposed of in the Class 3 Bulky Waste location. In order to maximize space, these materials will be shredded to help eliminate air space and increase compaction in our landfill cells.
Getting rid of something that may still have some life in it? Put it in the Freecycle Shed! Please make sure the items are in good shape and still usable. Broken and worn-out items should be disposed of or recycled.
If you are bringing a fridge or freezer, you must ensure it is empty. Rotten food left in units must be removed by the resident. Our attendants will ask you to open the door/lid to ensure it has been emptied before it can be dropped off at the recycling area.
Searching for a spare part in our metal pile? To ensure the safety of our residents, your feet must remain on the ground while you are looking for reusable material.
If you are disposing of old oil, please be prepared to unload your own oil and containers. Landfill operators have a lid remover tool for residents to remove the lids from fivegallon pails, but they cannot unload your oil and containers.
Household Hazardous Waste –household chemicals are accepted at all M.D. landfills. Once the jugs/ containers are empty, they should be bagged and disposed of with your household waste.
Paint – all paint cans, whether containing paint material or empty, should be placed in the paint recycling tote to ensure our compliance with Alberta Recycling’s Stewardship Program.
Electronics – almost any residential item or toy that uses a battery or has a cord is now accepted for recycling in the electronics program and doesn’t have to be tossed out anymore! Please bring those items in and we can have them recycled!
