Green carts will start to make a more regular appearance on curbs in Okotoks.

May 1 through to Nov. 1 the Town will have weekly pick ups for organic waste.

This is because the Town is anticipating to see a greater amount of usage with the green carts over the summer months for things like yard trimmings and small branches.

Recently the Town said 600 tonnes of organic waste was diverted from the landfill between Dec. and Mar.
