Waste & Recycling

 

Each year the City offers a Fall Service that will prevent the accumulation of trash and debris that may end up in lanes, the City Yard Waste depot or dumped in business or contractor dumpsters.  Check the event calendar or resident notice about this year's program.  Including accepted and non-accepted materials

Recycling Programs

In addition the Loraas ‘Blue Bin’ as part of regular recycling collection, we encourage residents to recycle to cut down waste and to prevent potentially hazardous materials from entering landfills and ecosystems.  In 2016 we hosted our first Household Hazardous Waste Collection day, providing a collection site for residents to bring materials not meant for the local landfill.  Watch for updates regarding future dates for Household Hazardous Waste Collection.

Provided is a list of options and depots for recyclable items that are not accepted as part of the ‘blue bin’ program.
