Garbage is in a secure receptacle (cart)

For the safety of our operators please keep bags of garbage manageable in both size and weight (under 19.5 kgs or 44 lbs)

NOTICE: December 1, 2025

Please note a minor adjustment to the blue bag recycling collection as we transition from the 2025 schedule into 2026. Specifically, garbage and blue bag collection will occur on December 31, 2025, followed by another collection on January 7, 2026, resulting in two consecutive weeks of both garbage and blue bag collection.

This change is temporary and from January 21, 2026, blue bag collection will return to a regular bi-weekly collection.

Please direct any questions to our Customer Service team at hello@parklandcounty.com or call 780-968-8888.
