Garbage Collection

If you're new to Barrhead and you'd like to know when your garbage will be picked up, phone the Town Office at 780-674-3301 or click on the attached map below.

To guarantee that your garbage is picked up, it must be out by 7:30 a.m. on your scheduled pick-up day, see the attached map below.

Garbage is picked up the day after a Statutory Holiday with the exception of Christmas Day and Good Friday (Easter).

In consideration of the health and safety of our staff, the Town implemented a Violation Tag Program in March 2007, relating to garbage pick-up service. Residences/businesses that do not respect the following will receive Violation Tags and their garbage may not be picked-up or emptied, this includes:

Unprepared (no can, bag or bundle)
Overweight garbage bags and containers (max. 55 lbs/25 kg)
Multiple grocery bags (bundle up/put into large black bags)
Unbagged or improperly contained animal waste or noxious matter in can
Hazardous material in can (car batteries, etc.)
Liquids in can (oil, paint, etc.)
Oversized container
Note: For your safety, absolutely NO rummaging through garbage bins is permitted.
Container is in poor repair (large industrial bins).
Commercial garbage bin - all garbage must be bagged and placed in bin.
