Grande Prairie Yard Waste Collection
This program is seasonal and runs from April 1 through to the second week in November each year. Yard waste includes leaves, grass, plants, weeds, flowers, and small tree and shrub trimmings.

Your yard waste bags must be placed 1-meter from your garbage cart to ensure the safe operation of the truck.

- Bags must be free from rips and tears.
