Grey Waste Cart

Bag your waste

Loose items in your waste cart will likely result in litter when the automated truck tips your bin. Help prevent littering in your neighbourhood by bagging your waste before placing it in the Grey Waste Cart.

Follow collection rules

There are several collection rules that apply to your Grey Waste Cart and your Green Organics Cart. Collection of your cart is not guaranteed if these rules aren’t followed:

• Set carts out by 7 am
• Close cart lids completely when they are put curbside for collection.
• Keep adequate space around your cart for the truck to collect it. On a standard street, the minimum spacing required around your cart is at least 1m. In tight cul-de-sacs where the truck may not be able to turn as well, this spacing requirement may be greater.
• Cart contents must not exceed 220 lbs.

Cart facts

• The carts are the property of the City of Beaumont. They stay with the home where they are delivered and should never leave that address.
• Carts should not be modified in any way, including adding a lock.
• Replace damaged or stolen carts by calling 780-929-4306.

Extra cart rentals

If you would like to rent an additional waste or green cart, please email waste@beaumont.ab.ca. There is a one-time rental fee of $80 and a monthly fee of $12 (per cart/per month) for additional carts.

Please note that only homeowners (aka utility account holders) may rent extra carts. The availability of additional carts vary based on provider supply.

Glass

Glass items (such as jars and sauce bottles) currently cannot be recycled in Beaumont and therefore are considered waste. Glass drinking containers (pop, juice or beer bottles) can be returned to the bottle depot for a refund.
