The Town of Olds contracts Empringham Disposal for Residential Roll Out Bin Collection.
All bins are the property of the Town of Olds. It is your responsibility to ensure that your bin is kept secure. If your bin is damaged beyond repair during collection while out on your Collection Day, we will replace it at no direct charge to you. However, if you cause / allow the damage or if your bin is stolen, you will be required to pay for a replacement.
If your bin met all requirements but was not collected, please call Empringham Disposal at 403-392-3870 with your name, address, phone number, and colour of bin missed.
If you live in a cul-de-sac, please parallel park with passenger side wheels to the curb on waste collection days.
This helps collection trucks reach your carts and turn around safely in the cul-de-sac.
To reach the bins, collection trucks need to be within 3 meters (10 feet) of the bin. This can be difficult when a vehicle is angle parked near the bin.
Additional waste bins are available for residences. There is a one-time fee of $92 for a bin of any color.
Monthly fees based on bin color are as follows:
Call 403-507-4820 or email utilities@olds.ca to order your bin.
Unwanted extra bin? With changes to the waste schedule, some residents may have an extra bin that is no longer required. Call 403-507-4820 or email utilities@olds.ca to return your bin.

Keep Batteries out of the Trash and Recycling Bins
Batteries should never be placed into the trash or your regular recycling bin, as they can be damaged in trucks, and potentially cause fires, endangering staff at recycling facilities.
Batteries need to be recycled properly, at specifically designated battery recycling locations. The good news is that with nearly 15,000 convenient drop-off locations across Canada, it’s easy to recycle! Just Collect, Protect, Drop Off! Visit Recycleyourbatteries.ca for more information.
