Soon, all residents in apartments, condos, row houses and other multi-unit buildings will sort food scraps and recycling from their garbage. The rollout will happen in 4 phases, starting in Southeast Edmonton.
Waste from most apartments and condominiums in Edmonton is collected in large shared bins. On-site garbage and recycling bins help residents sort waste for collection. We call this system apartment and condo collection.
Site decision-makers can request a review of their building’s waste collection assessment, including the size of containers and the number of collection locations.
The new Waste Services Bylaw (20363) helps prepare for changes to the way waste is sorted and collected at apartments and condos. Apartment and condo collection is called communal collection in the bylaw.
This bylaw mandates three-stream collection (garbage, recycling and food scraps) at all apartments and condos. This will be phased in across the City over the next 4 years.
This means that collection containers for all 3 streams of waste (garbage, recycling and food scraps) will need to be located near each other and equally accessible. This includes containers in indoor and outdoor waste collection areas. We will assist property managers and developers with this change.
