Garden and yard waste can be taken to the Foothills Landfill or the Quinn Street/Vanway Transfer & Recycle Stations free of charge on the day.

Do not throw away household hazardous waste, electronics, or yard and garden trimmings in City bins. These items must be discarded at:

• The PG Recycling and Return-It Centre (for electronics)
• Landfills and transfer stations (for other waste)

Registered volunteers can then visit City Hall between April 15 and 19 to pick up their gear.
