Garbage & Recycling
Flagstaff Waste Management performs the garbage pick-up service in town, and manages the transfer site 1.2 km northwest of downtown Hardisty. Regular residential waste pickup occurs Monday mornings (Tuesday if Monday is a holiday). The transfer site is open both Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. (noon).
Collection Guidelines
The Flagstaff Regional Solid Waste Association provides waste collection services for all urban residents as required. We take pride in our equipment and employees by ensuring a safe and healthy working environment.
When preparing your residential garbage for collection, please follow these important guidelines:
- All waste must be bagged prior to being placed in a waste receptacle.
- Four bag limit per residence. You are allowed a maximum of four (4) bags of garbage per week. Additional bag tags are available from the Town of Hardisty Office Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at a cost of $2 each. Bags without tags will not be collected.
- Accessible placement required. Garbage must be within 6 meters of the roadway or lane with clear access to containers. In winter months, this includes snow removal around containers.
- Property access restrictions. Collectors are not allowed to enter:
- Fenced premises
- Residential property
- Garages
- Other outbuildings
- Container maintenance. It is the responsibility of the resident to ensure waste receptacles are kept clean, free of odor and insects. A disinfectant may be required.
- Winter collection changes. Street collection may be instituted in the winter months due to weather conditions. Municipalities are responsible to notify the public of any changes.
