1. Why wasn’t my cart emptied on collection day?

The most common reason for carts not being emptied was they were not at the curb by 7 a.m. Other common reasons include that carts were left in the wrong place for pickup, waste was put in the organics (green) cart, cart lids were not fully closed or a vehicle was parked too close to the cart. The trucks require 1 m around your cart to be free from bags, parked cars, etc. 

If you believe you followed correct procedures, call the City of Beaumont at 780-929-4300 within two business days of the missed collection to inquire.

You must register for utilities with the City either in person at Beaumont's Administration Office (5600 49 Street) or online https://www.beaumont.ab.ca/214/Utility-Service-Setup

You can divert more waste from your waste cart by increasing composting and recycling. Make the diapers as small as possible when disposing. There are products on the market, such as a diaper bin, that compress diapers.
