RECYCLING      

Grass Clipping & Branch Bins

The Grass Bins are located south of the Killam School / Killam Health Centre- near the Water Treatment Plant.
The bins for grass clippings are located beside the water treatment plant, behind the Killam Hospital and School. Please ensure that only grass is emptied into the bins, no garbage bags please!  Due to popular use, the bins will be emptied on Fridays and Tuesdays. Please do not use these bins for branches or garbage! The bins are supplied and emptied by Flagstaff Regional Solid Waste Management. If bins are full, please call 780-384-3950 to report it.

The Branch Bin will be located in the same area as the Grass Bins (at the Water Treatment Plant, south between the Killam School and Killam Health Centre).

A "Branch Bin" is located in the same area as the Grass Bins, but is an enclosure that is to be used for branches throughout the season.  This area is NOT intended for trees or stumps (these should be taken to the regional Landfill site).  Branches are "chipped" and the mulch is available for Residents to use.  Please contact Public Works at 780-385-3783 to make arrangements.

Recycling Bins

Recycling Bins are located outside of the Killam Public Works Shop (located along Highway 13, west of the John Deere dealership).  Bins are in place for Cardboard, Newsprint, Office Paper and Tin Cans.  A yellow, Rigid Plastics bin has recently been added.  For details of what can be accepted, follow the attached link from Flagstaff Waste.
