The Town of Okotoks operates a compost depot for residents to drop-off organic waste in a convenient and environmentally-friendly way.
Green organic food waste bins are currently available at the Eco Centre.
To help residents divert excess organic yard waste from the landfill the Town offers several options for yard waste, especially during spring and fall clean up. Grass clippings and leaves (no branches) are accepted at the Eco Centre’s drop off bins.
