There will be bins at these sites to handle garbage and litter, not compostable material or garden waste.

Garden waste can be taken free of charge to the Foothills Landfill site, or the Quinn Street and Vanway Transfer Stations. Please, no hazardous materials or large household items. Bin locations will be monitored to ensure no hazardous waste is dropped off.
