Cart use and care

Ensuring your garbage is collected

Placement of carts is important! The automated arm on the truck can only operate if it has enough clearance to maneuver.

Follow these easy steps to ensure easy collection.

  • Have your cart out by 7 a.m. on your collection day
  • Place your carts so that the wheels are to the curb (facing forward)
  • Do not park in front of cart until the garbage is collected
  • Keep your carts one metre (an arm's length) apart so the truck's robotic arm can grab it
  • Ensure that the lid is fully closed. Overflowing carts will not be emptied
  • Do not overload carts. Heavy carts cannot be picked up by the truck's mechanical arm.   
  • Extra bags outside the cart will not be picked up. Loose material will not be collected.
  • Residents can take excess garbage bags to the Lloydminster Sanitary Landfill free of charge.

Taking care of your cart
  • Store your cart away from direct sunlight.
  • Rinse your organics carts weekly. You can use diluted bleach or a water-vinegar solution to minimize the odour. A small amount of laundry detergent, powdered lime or baking soda layered at the bottom of your cart can also help control odour.
  • Bag items inside the kitchen catcher with a biodegradable bag or brown paper bags.
  • You may choose to use larger paper biodegradable sacks to line your organics cart, but it is not required.
  • To request cart repair or report a missing cart, complete the Report a Concern form or call Waste Services at 780-874-3700, Ext 2794.
