On Monday, the Town of Drumheller began its annual clean up project for the community with the Fall Clean Up.
Crews were out in East Coulee and Cambria on Monday, picking up items that residents left for clean up. Tuesday, crews were working in Rosedale, Wayne, and locations to the east of the Water Treatment Plant.
The Community Clean Up program helps residents dispose of oversized or excess items without making a trip to the landfill. The Community Clean Up is provided free of charge to Drumheller residents.
To participate, the Town asks residents to place eligible items at their regular curbside collection location prior to their neighbourhood clean up date. A couple of notes from the Town of Drumheller:
- This program does not include disposal of demolition material. Commercial/Industrial waste is not included in this program.
- No single site is to exceed the volume of a ½ ton truck
- Importing waste from outside of Drumheller Corporate limits is strictly prohibited
- Please note that compost, such as lawn clippings, leaves, wood chips and small trees, is always free to dispose of at the Drumheller Landfill. This does not include calliper tree stumps and trunks or diseased trees, such as black knot and Dutch Elm.
The schedule for clean up dates in your area are as follows:
