The Town of Peace River has Yard Waste Disposal Bin’s set up each year at the north end of the Centennial parking lot (9802 101 Street), specifically — and ONLY — for yard waste.
Important Info
The Yard Waste bins are typically set up from May 1st – October 31st of each year. The dates for operating the bins will be dependant on the weather and may be set up earlier.
What can I put in the Yard Waste Bins?
Compostable and Paper Bags used to hold any yard waste are acceptable (Plastic bags must be emptied in the bin and disposed of separately)
- Tree and shrub trimmings
- Plant remains
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Trees
- Stumps
Why can’t I put my plastic bags in the Yard Waste Bins?
Putting plastic bags, or any other household waste in the Yard Waste Bins, contaminates the entire contents of the bin when it is dumped at the landfill. Contaminants in the bin also doubles the cost when dumping at the landfill.
The Town of Peace River is committed to providing services to residents that make it easier to keep our Town looking clean and well maintained. In order to continue these efforts, co-operation from residents by following the regulations for use of the bins, is essential.
