Yard waste collection starts Monday

By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on April 5, 2025.

The city will resume yard waste collection Monday. This means green bins for organic waste will be collected on the same day as regular garbage collection until November.

Acceptable yard materials include grass clippings, leaves, plant trimmings, weeds, cut flowers, twigs as well as branches and limbs up to one metre in length and two inches in diameter.

Food waste will not be accepted in these bins.

Homeowners not part of the service can pay a one-time fee of $50 to join and the city will deliver a green venter 95-gallon organic waste bin to the front of your property.

The fee will be applied to the homeowner’s utility account.
