Tenants and property owners across Leduc have welcomed the waste diversion program to multi-unit dwellings. In 2024, changes were made to the City of Leduc Waste Bylaw to require waste diversion services to be offered in multi-unit buildings. This includes recycling and organics waste streams. So far, a total of 60 per cent of multi-unit buildings in the community have committed to making the change, and including these waste streams to their properties.

By January 1, 2026, all multi-unit dwellings are required to support organic, recycling, and waste services or be subjected to fines. Waste diversion is a collective effort and with more residents properly diverting waste, it strengthens Leduc’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

Tenants who have received their personal kitchen catchers and recycling bins have been excited about sorting their waste and diverting organic material from the landfill,” says Michael Hancharyk, Manager of Environment. “It’s encouraging to see so many embrace the change.”

The City of Leduc worked with property owners throughout the year to support them through this change. Resources have been provided, including special hauler rates for early adopters, kitchen catchers and recycling bins for every unit, and educational materials to help residents understand what goes where.
