The Garbage & Recycling function is managed by Sundre's Operations Department; however, it contracts the Environmental 360 to provide garbage and compost pick-up services for the Town.
Did You Know...
If you dispose of the wrong materials in your green bin, the entire load for your area may be dumped into the landfill instead of being made into earth-friendly compost. This greatly increases disposal costs for the entire town and fills up our landfill.
Solid Waste relates to garbage and compost collection for
residential homes. This function is managed by the Town's Operational
Services Department; however, Environmental 360 has been contracted to
provide garbage and compost pick-up services for the Town. Mountain
View Regional Waste Management Commission operates the Transfer Station.
The Mountain View Regional Waste Management Commission was formed
in 2001 to coordinate the management and disposal of solid waste for the
municipalities within the Mountain View County area.
Inquiries may be directed to the Transfer Station at (403)
638-4306, or to MVRWMC at (403) 335-4901. The Town of Sundre does not
operate/manage the Eco-Site/Transfer Station.
Hours of Operation:
Friday 9 am to 4:30 pm
Saturday 9 am to 4:30 pm
Directions:
1.6 km east on Hwy 27 and 1.6 km south on Rand Road 5.1
Your black cart is for your non-hazardous household waste. The black bin is meant for most things that cannot go into your compost and recycling carts.
Your waste should be bagged and securely tied when placed in the black cart.
Periodically rinse your cart with a hose to keep it clean
If your bin is full before the scheduled pick up, extra garbage bags can be purchased at the Town Office for $4.00 + GST per bag. These extra bags will be collected on the same day as the black carts.
The Town’s remaining portion of the Highway 27 construction will begin early this spring, and be completed late spring to early summer, depending on weather. This includes completing the replacement of critical underground infrastructure and existing service connections to businesses along the highway between Centre Street and 4th Street. On March 7, 2024, the Town invited businesses with direct access to Highway 27 between the bridge east of Centre Street and just west of 4th Street NW to a meeting to discuss the 2025 traffic accommodation strategy. These businesses were directly impacted during the Town’s portion of construction during the fall of 2023, as the traffic accommodation strategy at that time required direct access to the highway to be closed, which caused a severe impact to these businesses. In 2025, Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC), will commence their portion of the construction, with a possibility of some of the work beginning in fall of 2024.
The Town requested that TEC come up with an alternate strategy that would allow access to the businesses to remain open during their construction period in 2025. TEC has come back with the most workable solution, which will reroute westbound traffic along 1st Avenue NW. This project has been technically complicated due to the nature of the geography in Sundre, and because Highway 27 is part of the High Load Corridor Network for oversize, overweight vehicles, which has made traffic accommodation strategies particularly complex. On March 18th, TEC and the Town will be meeting with residents along 1st Avenue NW to discuss the alternate route, as they will be directly impacted by the 2025 construction. It is our hope that the residents will support the detour route, and the inconvenience for one season to ensure our downtown businesses have the ability to remain viable and sustainable during the construction period. In mid to late April, TEC and the Town will be hosting an additional information session for other businesses and residents. The date, time and location will be posted on the Town website and in the local paper.
TEC and the Town have engaged a communication strategist to ensure that concerns and communication with stakeholders and the public are addressed through one source for consistency and reliability. All concerns and questions can be directed via email to: hwy27@sundre.com.
