## How it works

The District of Logan Lake runs garbage and recycling collection under its [Solid Waste and Recycling Removal/Disposal Bylaw 835](<https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/12888/>). Garbage is picked up once a week per cart, and curbside recycling is collected the same day, with recycling picked up first. No organics (compost) collection is mentioned. The schedule can change for statutory holidays.

## Steps

1. Find your day on the District's Garbage & Recycling page. Tuesday: commercial and apartment blocks. Wednesday: streets including Opal, Sapphire and Topaz Crescent, and the acreages. Thursday: streets including Alder, Birch and Emerald. Friday: commercial second-pickup customers and apartment blocks. The page has the full street list.
2. Put garbage carts at the curb on collection day, not before 5 a.m. and by 10 a.m. Recycling carts go out between 5 and 7 a.m. Never the night before.
3. Keep carts 1 metre apart, not blocking snow ploughing, and store them on the property when not in use.

## Good to know

- Each single-family home gets one 250-litre garbage cart and one recycling cart. Multi-family dwellings get 1,135-litre containers. A second garbage cart is available on request (the page says $200 a year; the fee schedule says "at cost"). Maximum two per dwelling.
- The District web page says garbage goes out between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.; the bylaw says between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. Confirm with the District.
- Do not fill a cart above the rim or so the lid will not close, or past the manufacturer's weight limit. All waste must be bagged. Refuse not in a District cart is not collected unless arranged in advance. No extra-bag or tag system was found.
- Not collected: tree limbs, whole shrubs, hedges, yard waste, furniture, appliances, tires and hazardous waste. The District may authorize a spring clean-up.
- Carts lost or damaged through negligence are replaced at the owner's cost. A stage 3 non-compliance (improper placement, wrong contents, overfilling) brings a $100 bylaw fine.
