There are many household products that make our lives easier and more enjoyable.

Many of these products, however, contain chemicals or other materials that could be harmful to the environment if they aren’t disposed of properly. Leduc residents can safely dispose of household hazardous waste and electronic waste (e-waste) at the City’s waste and recycling facilities.

Take these materials to the Eco Station or the Waste Management Facility for proper and safe disposal.

Large Item Pickup

During the first week of June, residents may place large items out with their regular carts for collection (Two-item limit per household). Items more than 60 inches wide (five feet) and 150 pounds (68 kg) will not be picked up.

Guidelines for Collection

  • Please place large items out by 7 a.m. on your collection day, one metre away from your carts and blue bags.
  • If the large item is an outdoor item or a toy, please tag it with a sign indicating “Large Item Pickup,” so it is clearly marked for collection (e.g. bicycles, hockey nets).
  • Service is for city curbside collection customers only.

Examples of Accepted Items

  • Mattresses
  • Water heaters
  • Furniture
  • Doors
  • Lawnmowers – must have oil and gas removed
  • Electronics (items such as TVs and stereos are acceptable; residents are advised against leaving out items containing sensitive information, such as computers and tablets)
  • Appliances other than fridges and freezers (fridges and freezers can be taken to the Waste Management Facility for proper disposal — a $26 fee applies)

Items that are NOT Accepted

  • Household hazardous waste
  • Construction waste
  • Propane tanks
  • Motors
  • Sod and yard waste

Christmas Tree Recycling

Christmas trees are picked up with regular curbside collection.

Check your collection calendar for the pick-up schedule.

  • Cut the tree to lengths of four feet at maximum
  • Put your tree 1m away from your carts on your regular collection day
  • Trees are taken to the compost collection facility for chipping

Tree pickup will occur later in the day. Alternatively, you can take your tree to the Yard Waste Transfer Station.

Managing Extra Waste

If you can’t fit all of your waste into your waste cart (with the lid closed tight):

  • Take your extra waste to the Eco Station. One bag of waste is accepted free of charge and any additional bags are $2/bag. Exact change must be provided.
  • Take your extra waste to the Waste Management Facility where it is free for residents with a resident card.
  • Rent an extra waste cart for $12.46/month for a minimum period of six months. Certain terms of service are in place for residents arranging for a second waste cart. Call the Eco-smart Hotline at (780)-980-7107 for details.
