Curbside pick-up of green carts in the Town of Ponoka has now switched to the winter schedule, with collection happening every second week until the end of April 2025.
Compostable items that can be placed in the green carts include most kitchen food waste, coffee grounds, cooking oil, eggshells, poultry bones, shellfish, tea bags, certified compostable food containers, food-soiled newsprint and cardboard, facial tissue, food-soiled paper towels and napkins, and leaves.
Do not put plastics, recyclables or household garbage in the green carts. For example, no diapers, tin cans, chunks of wood or plastic bags.
For a complete list of what items are ‘accepted’ and ‘not accepted’ in your green cart, visit the Town of Ponoka’s website at ponoka.ca/p/green-carts.
