Organic Waste

Medicine Hat residents have the option of subscribing for seasonal yard waste collection. Similar to the grey household waste carts, a green vented 95-gallon organic waste cart designed specifically for organic materials is used for this program.

Recycling your own yard waste into useable compost is easy, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly. The Composting page offers step-by-step instructions to do it yourself. Or, consider purchasing the SureGrow Compost produced by the City of Medicine Hat. SureGrow is made, under strict environmental controls, out of the yard waste collected from the seasonal yard waste collection program.
