Stony Plain Garbage Dump and Pickup Helper: Collection Day, Waste Calendar, Organics and Transfer Station Options
This Stony Plain garbage schedule guide is built for the real resident question: what day is my zone, when should carts be out, why did my bin not empty, where do blue bags go, what happens during seasonal front curb collection, and which “garbage dump” or drop-off option should I use for household waste, electronics, paint, tires, mattresses or construction material?
Quick Answer: How to Check the Stony Plain Garbage Schedule
Use the Town of Stony Plain Garbage, Organics and Recycling page, the 2026 Waste Collection Calendar, the Collection Day Map, or the Recycle Coach app. Carts must be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. on your collection day, with lids fully closed and 1 metre clearance around and above the cart.

Find your collection zone
Stony Plain uses zone-based collection. The 2026 calendar lists Zone 1 on Tuesday, Zone 2 on Wednesday, Zone 3 on Thursday and Zone 4 on Friday.
Waste, organics and recycling are different
Waste is collected every 2 weeks. Organics is weekly from May to October and every 2 weeks from November to April. Blue bag recycling is collected weekly all year.
Report before noon next day
The Town says missed collection must be reported before noon the day following the scheduled collection date. Do not wait several days if your cart was missed.
If you searched “Stony Plain garbage dump,” you probably need either the Rotary Recycling Centre, the Parkland County Transfer Station, or the Spruce Grove Eco Centre. Curbside pickup is for normal residential waste only; many bulky, hazardous, electronic or construction items need a proper drop-off route.

Seasonal Front Curb Collection in Stony Plain
During seasonal road bans, some Stony Plain areas move from back lane collection to front curb collection. For 2026, the Town says seasonal front curb collection begins April 7 and runs until the end of May.
West of Highway 779
The affected area includes the area west of Highway 779, excluding Brickyard Drive and 48 Street.
Meridian Heights
Meridian Heights is listed by the Town as moving to front curb collection during the spring road-ban period.
St. Andrews
St. Andrews is also listed for seasonal front curb collection. Back lane collection resumes after the spring thaw.
If your neighbour’s lane has carts but your notice says front curb, follow the Town’s seasonal road-ban instruction. The change protects back lanes from damage during spring thaw.
Stony Plain Cart Placement Rules: Time, Space and Direction
Most missed pickups are caused by simple set-out issues. Stony Plain uses automated collection, so the truck needs space for the mechanical arm and safe access to the cart.
Before 7 a.m.
Place your cart at the curb before 7 a.m. on your collection day. Do not wait until you hear the truck because the route order can change.
1 metre clearance
Leave 1 metre / 4 feet clearance around and above the cart, including space between carts, bags, parked cars, trees, power lines and roof overhangs.
Face the street, lid closed
Make sure your cart faces the street, the lid closes completely, and the cart is not overpacked. Recycling should not lean against your carts.
Common no-pickup triggers
- Cart placed out after 7 a.m.
- Lid open or cart jammed full.
- Cart too close to another cart, bag, car or snowbank.
- Recycling leaning against carts.
- Cart not facing the street.
- Overhead obstruction such as trees, power lines or roof overhangs.
Collection-ready checklist
- Check your zone and collection week.
- Put waste materials inside the waste cart in bags.
- Keep organics loose enough to empty properly.
- Secure empty bins after collection so wind does not move them.
- Write down or photograph your bin numbers.
Waste Cart Options and Fees in Stony Plain
Stony Plain introduced new residential waste cart choices so households can match capacity to their needs. The schedule and frequency do not change when you change cart size.
120L waste cart
Residents can downsize to a smaller 120L waste cart. The Town notes no administrative or delivery fee for downsizing, and the listed monthly utility fee remains $19.06.
240L waste cart
If your current 240L waste cart works for your household, no action is needed. The base 240L waste cart is paired with the 240L organics cart.
240L + 120L = 360L
Residents can add a 120L waste cart for a combined 360L capacity. The Town lists a $50 admin fee, $90 delivery fee and a $15 monthly waste utility fee increase for the added cart option.
The Town encourages residents to document bin numbers or write house numbers on bins. Replacement for a lost or stolen waste or organics cart is listed at $105.
Waste, Organics and Blue Bag Recycling in Stony Plain
The three curbside streams do not run on the same schedule. This is why Recycle Coach and the 2026 calendar are so useful.
⚫ Waste cart
Waste is collected every 2 weeks. Materials should be bagged inside the waste cart, and the lid must close completely.
🟢 Organics cart
Organics is collected weekly from May through October and every 2 weeks from November through April.
🔵 Blue bag recycling
Recycling is collected weekly all year. Recycling is collected by GFL Environmental while waste and organics are collected by Integrity Waste Solutions.
Stony Plain contracts two providers: Integrity Waste Solutions collects waste and organics, and GFL Environmental collects residential recycling blue bags.
Official Video Help: Smarty Pants Joins GFL to Tackle Waste Diversion
The Town links to the Smarty Pants waste-diversion video from its waste page. It is useful for families and residents who want a more visual reminder about sorting waste, recycling and organics.
Use the video for sorting awareness, then use the 2026 calendar, Collection Day Map and Recycle Coach for your exact pickup date.
Missed Garbage, Organics or Recycling Pickup in Stony Plain
Do not delay. The Town says missed pickup should be reported the morning after the scheduled pickup date so the contractor can return the following day, and missed collections must be reported before noon the day after your scheduled collection date.
Check the basics first
- Was the cart out before 7 a.m.?
- Was it the correct waste or organics week?
- Was the blue bag recycling kept clear of carts?
- Was there 1 metre clearance on all sides and above?
- Was the lid closed completely?
- Was the cart overpacked or jammed full?
- Was your area under seasonal front curb collection?
Use Town reporting options
Use the Town’s Report a Problem form, Recycle Coach, or call Public Works at 780-963-2469. Report before noon the day following the scheduled collection date.
If the issue is related to the May 2025 waste provider transition or a bin delivery issue, use the Town’s current waste page and Public Works contact for the latest instructions.
If your cart was late, blocked, overpacked, facing the wrong way or too close to other objects, fix that setup before the next pickup. Reporting alone will not prevent a repeat miss.

Stony Plain Garbage Dump Options: Transfer Station, Eco Centre and What Goes Where
There is not one simple “Stony Plain dump” answer for every item. Your best route depends on the material.

Special Items: Paint, Electronics, Light Bulbs, Batteries and Hazardous Materials
Some items need special handling because they can cause fire, contamination, chemical exposure or worker-safety issues. Do not hide these in the waste cart.
Use secured drop-off or transfer station
The Town lists accepted electronics categories such as computers, TVs, laptops, printers, small appliances, audio visual items, telecom items, power tools, games, toys and electric lawn and garden tools, but secured containers should not be bypassed after hours.
Use proper recycling streams
Paint, aerosols, coatings, solvents, light bulbs and similar products should use accepted recycling programs at the correct time and location.
Hazardous and bulky items
Household garbage, furniture, mattresses, box springs, large appliances, construction material and hazardous material are not Rotary Recycling Centre items.
