Food Waste Organics Now Accepted at Bragg Creek Transfer Site

The Bragg Creek Transfer Site will begin collecting food waste organic materials on December 3, 2022. Organics can be dropped off in new bear-proof carts at the Bragg Creek Transfer Site during regular hours. Please continue to drop off leaves, grass, yard waste, and branches in designated areas.

Examples of accepted food waste organic materials:

  • Food, including peels and meat bones
  • Chopsticks, popsicle sticks, and toothpicks
  • Pizza boxes
  • Paper towels and tissues
  • Pet food
  • Paper plates and napkins
  • Compostable straws and cutlery
  • Coffee filters and tea bags
  • Grease, oils, sauces

This is a pilot project to evaluate the need for organic collection and the effectiveness of bear-proof carts. We encourage all residents to use the new organic waste program!
