Leduc Garbage Schedule 2026: Check Today’s Cart, Route Map and PDF Calendar
Find your Monday–Friday route, check whether the black waste cart or green organics cart goes out, and remember that blue recycling bags are collected every week. The schedule checker below follows Leduc’s official 2026 weekday calendars and links directly to the matching City PDF.
Quick Answer: How to Check My Garbage Collection Schedule in Leduc
Leduc does not use one citywide garbage date. Your home belongs to a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday route. Once you know that weekday, use its 2026 PDF or Recycle Coach to see the correct cart combination.
Find the route colour
Use the official map. Route boundaries can divide nearby neighbourhoods, so confirm the street instead of copying a neighbour.
Read the date bars
Blue means recycling bags. Black means the waste cart. Green means the organics cart. More than one bar means more than one stream goes out.
Prepare by 7:00 a.m.
Place the scheduled carts and bags at the assigned street or alley point with approximately one metre of open space.
For Leduc, always combine the municipality, exact route day and cart colour. A weekday alone does not tell you whether the black or green cart is scheduled.

How to read the official PDF colours
Blue recycling bags
Blue bags appear on every normal route date because curbside recycling is weekly.
Black waste cart
The black cart appears every second week. Household waste must be bagged before it goes inside the cart.
Green organics cart
The green cart is weekly on the route dates from April 6–10 through November 2–6, then every second week in winter.
Look for the narrow black and green bars attached to the date. A date can include blue bags plus one cart or all three streams.
Monday black-cart dates in 2026
Friday black-cart dates in 2026
Leduc Civic Centre, Leduc Recreation Centre, Leduc Public Library, Telford House, City Operations Building and the Eco Station are listed as paper-calendar distribution points during normal business hours.
What Goes in Leduc’s Black Cart, Green Cart and Blue Bags?
Correct sorting prevents a cart from being tagged or left behind. Use these quick rules before opening the official item-search tool.
Bag all household waste
Residual household material that is neither recyclable nor organic belongs in the black cart. Loose waste can cause the cart to be rejected.
- Diapers, wipes and sanitary products
- Plastic film, bags and wrappers
- Styrofoam and non-returnable glass
- Broken dishes, mirrors and small household waste
- All waste contained in tied bags
Organics are usually loose
Food, yard material, shredded paper and food-soiled paper can go in the green cart. Paper or approved compostable bags are allowed.
- Food scraps, meat, bones and dairy
- Leaves, grass and garden waste
- Pizza boxes and soiled paper
- Pet waste only in an approved 100% compostable bag
- No ordinary plastic or produce bags
Clean and dry recycling
Use transparent blue recycling bags. Empty packaging and flatten cardboard before collection.
- Paper and flattened cardboard
- Rigid plastic bottles, tubs and jugs
- Clean tin and aluminum containers
- Milk cartons and drink boxes
- No glass in curbside blue bags
A contaminated cart may not be collected
Leduc’s organics program identifies contamination such as black bags, hard plastics and clothing. A tag or education notice explains what must change before the next collection.
Clear containers go to the Eco Station
Clean clear glass containers are accepted at the Eco Station. Ceramics, Pyrex, windows and windshields are not part of that clear-glass stream.
Leduc Set-Out Rules: 7:00 a.m., Closed Lids and One-Metre Clearance
A cart can be scheduled correctly and still remain full when the automated truck cannot reach or empty it safely.
Do this before 7:00 a.m.
- Use the assigned front-street or back-alley collection point.
- Leave approximately one metre clear on every side and above.
- Keep lids completely closed.
- Keep carts away from parked vehicles, fences, poles and snowbanks.
- Put blue bags where they will not block the cart arm.
- Pull carts back onto the property after collection.
Fix these common problems
- Cart placed at the wrong side of the property
- Loose waste in the black cart
- Lid open because the cart is overfilled
- More than the 90 kg / 200 lb cart limit
- Wrong cart for the published week
- Contamination or a frozen, tightly packed load
Your blue bags may disappear before the carts, or one cart may be emptied hours before another. Wait until collection has had time to finish before assuming a stream was missed.
Missed Garbage, Organics or Recycling Pickup in Leduc
Collection begins at 7:00 a.m. and can continue until approximately 7:00 p.m. Report a correctly prepared missed collection promptly while a return trip may still be possible.
Confirm the route and stream
Check the weekday PDF and make sure the uncollected cart was actually scheduled.
Look for the cause
Check the lid, bagging, contamination, cart weight, clearance, snow access and pickup location.
Call immediately
Leave the correctly prepared material accessible and contact the Eco-smart Hotline on collection day.
Eco-smart Hotline
Useful call script: “My address is [address], my regular route is [weekday], and the scheduled [black cart, green cart or blue bags] was out by 7:00 a.m. with one metre of clearance but was not collected.”
Leduc Holiday Garbage Schedule for 2026
Curbside collection follows the usual weekday schedule on statutory holidays except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The weekday PDF should be checked for the replacement date.
The Eco Station and other City facilities can close or reduce hours on a holiday even when curbside collection remains on schedule.
Leduc Large Item Pickup 2026: Event Status, Limits and Alternatives
The scheduled 2026 curbside large-item event ran from June 9 through June 16 and has now ended. Do not place furniture or appliances at the curb outside an announced event.
Use the Leduc and District Waste Management Facility, an appropriate reuse option or another approved disposal service. Wait for a new City announcement before using curbside placement.
Two items per household
The service is for eligible City curbside customers and is not a whole-home cleanout collection.
Maximum 60 inches and 150 lb
An item more than five feet wide or 68 kg is outside the program limit.
One metre from carts
Outdoor toys, bicycles and similar objects should be marked “Large Item Pickup” during an active event.
Examples
- Mattresses and furniture
- Water heaters and doors
- Televisions and stereos
- Lawn mowers with all gas and oil removed
- Appliances without refrigerant
Use another disposal route
- Fridges, freezers and refrigerant appliances
- Construction or renovation waste
- Household hazardous waste
- Propane tanks and automotive parts
- Sod, yard waste and loose cleanup piles
Extra Garbage, Additional Carts and Moving to a New Home
Do not leave bags beside the cart
Take small amounts to the Eco Station. The first general-waste bag is listed as free and additional bags are $2 each; exact change is required.
Monthly rental option
The current cart-preparation page lists an additional waste cart at $13.12 per month with a minimum six-month commitment. Call before ordering because rates can change.
Organics-cart option
The official page lists an extra green cart at $8.73 per month with a minimum six-month commitment.
Carts stay with the property
Do not take City carts or kitchen containers to the new address. Mark the designated cart area with your address to prevent neighbour mix-ups.
Call instead of buying a replacement
City carts contain identifying tags and serial numbers. Report a stolen, missing or truck-damaged cart to 780-980-7107.
Set up the municipal utility account so cart delivery can be arranged. At an older home, the previous owner should have left the assigned carts at the property.
Where to Take Extra Waste, Glass, Electronics, Yard Waste and Renovation Debris
Choose the facility by material and load size before loading your vehicle.
Before leaving home
- Keep chemicals labelled and upright.
- Separate clear glass from blue-bag recycling.
- Flatten cardboard.
- Remove rims from accepted tires.
- Bring exact change for extra general-waste bags.
Do not put it in the green cart
Black-knot branches and noxious weeds go to the designated diseased-wood pile. Transport them carefully in plastic to avoid spreading plant disease or weeds.
Does the City Schedule Apply to My House, Apartment or Leduc County Address?
Use the five-route map
A property receiving City carts and blue-bag service should use the Monday–Friday route map and the corresponding PDF.
Follow the building’s collection system
Most multi-unit properties arrange service through private haulers. Since January 1, 2026, covered properties must participate in organics and recycling diversion, but pickup days remain building-specific.
Do not use the City PDFs
Nisku, New Sarepta and rural or county communities can follow Leduc County collection rules. Check the municipality on the utility or tax account.
Open Leduc County waste servicesUse Recycle Coach for Address-Based Reminders and Sorting Help
A saved PDF is useful, but Recycle Coach is better for residents who want address-specific reminders, item searches, City notices and missed-collection reporting.
Confirm the exact route
Enter the service address instead of relying only on the neighbourhood name.
Set the reminder early
Choose a reminder that gives enough time to move carts and blue bags out before 7:00 a.m.
Search before guessing
Use the item-search function for glass, plastics, electronics, hazardous waste and unusual household items.

Open facility informationLeduc Garbage Schedule Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my garbage collection schedule in Leduc?
Use the official route map to identify your Monday–Friday route, then open the matching 2026 PDF or enter your address in Recycle Coach. The PDF shows whether blue bags, the black cart or the green cart are collected.
What is collected every week in Leduc?
Blue recycling bags are collected every week on the regular route day. The black waste cart is every second week. The green organics cart changes between weekly warm-season collection and every-second-week winter collection.
Where can I download the Leduc garbage schedule 2026 PDF?
The City publishes separate Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday PDFs. Download only the calendar matching your official route colour and weekday.
Is there an official Leduc garbage schedule map?
Yes. The official route PDF colour-codes Leduc streets and neighbourhoods into five weekday collection areas. Use the street boundary instead of assuming an entire side of the city has one route.
What time must carts and blue bags be ready?
Set everything at the assigned street or alley collection point by 7:00 a.m. Keep approximately one metre clear on every side and above the carts.
Why was my Leduc cart not collected?
Common reasons include the wrong route date, late set-out, loose black-cart waste, an open lid, excessive weight, insufficient clearance, contamination or placement at the wrong side of the property. Call 780-980-7107 promptly if all rules were followed.
Does Leduc garbage pickup change on holidays?
Collection normally continues on statutory holidays except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The Friday December 25, 2026 route is shown for Saturday, December 26 in the official PDF.
When was Leduc large item pickup in 2026?
The 2026 event ran June 9–16 and is now complete. The event allowed two eligible items per household, subject to size, weight, placement and material rules. Use an approved facility now unless the City announces another event.
Can I place extra garbage beside my black cart?
Do not rely on curbside collection for bags outside the cart. Take small extra loads to the Eco Station, use the regional facility or call the City about renting an additional black cart.
Do apartments and Leduc County homes use the same schedule?
Not necessarily. Apartments and condos usually follow a building-specific private-hauler schedule. Leduc County communities use County services rather than the City’s five weekday PDFs.
Best Next Step for Leduc Residents
Open the official route map, save the matching weekday PDF, and set an address-based Recycle Coach reminder. Put only the scheduled streams out by 7:00 a.m. with closed lids and one metre of clearance. For a missed collection, missing cart, additional cart or uncertain item, call the Eco-smart Hotline at 780-980-7107.
