The Municipal District of Taber has contracted Environmental 360 Solutions (E360S) to provide automated waste collection services. This change, including the expansion of curbside collection to all MD of Taber hamlets, is scheduled to begin in Fall 2026.
Residents with an MD of Taber utility account will receive one (360 L) rollout cart at no additional cost. The carts remain the property of the Municipal District of Taber and are assigned to a specific property address.
If you sell your property or move, the cart must remain with the property. Lost or damaged carts may be replaced at the property owner's expense. To request a replacement cart, please contact the MD of Taber at 403-223-3541.

Collection day
Collection days for all hamlets are Fridays.
i
Carts should be positioned facing the street, with the wheels oriented toward the home and the lid fully closed. Ensure carts are placed upright on level ground and not on platforms, sidewalks, or other structures. Proper placement allows automated collection vehicles to safely service and return carts.
Please retrieve your cart from the roadside as soon as practical after collection.
- Place carts at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day.
- Maintain a minimum clearance of 1 metre (3 feet) on each side of the cart.
- Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 metres (10 feet) from any overhead obstructions.
Statutory holidays
Waste collection will continue on statutory holidays. The only exceptions are Christmas Day and New Year's Day. If collection is affected by either holiday, E360S will communicate an alternate collection day.
Overfilled carts
- Cart contents must not exceed 330 lbs (150 kg).
- Overfilled carts will not be collected.
- Carts containing oversized items that prevent the lid from closing completely may be tagged with a yellow sticker and left uncollected.
- Overfilled carts can result in waste spilling onto streets and attracting birds and wildlife. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure waste is properly prepared for collection.
- Additional waste may be taken to the appropriate landfill or transfer station for disposal.
