Rosetown’s organic waste collection was introduced to the community in 2017. Bins were provided to households, and collection takes places every two weeks during spring, summer and fall months, weather-permitting. Read the monthly fees for the cart (PDF).
Curbside Compost Collection begins (weather permitting )
Effective May 3rd (weather permitting), we will resume bi-weekly (Tuesday) curb-side pick-up of your dark green compost bin on the day designated for your area.
There are two zones: Red Zone (north of 6th avenue): pick-up begins May 3rd
Blue Zone (south of 6th avenue): pick-up begins May 10th.
Please ensure you have your cart out by 7:00 am and have it placed wheels to the curb and at least 4’ away from vehicles or
obstructions.
