Urban Collections
If you’re a resident of Tofield, Viking, Ryley, Holden, or Bruce, you won’t have to look far to find a Claystone waste collection bin. Our bins are located conveniently throughout your community, ready to accept most kinds of household waste.
Did you know the residential bins aren’t meant for large items, such as old furniture and appliances? Instead, Claystone Waste offers residents free Large Item Pick Up each spring and fall to help you dispose of those items.
If you can’t wait until fall, residents of Tofield, Viking, Ryley, and Holden are also welcome to use any one of our many transfer stations around the county. Visit the Transfer Station page for more information on locations and accepted items.
