Bin Service in Chestermere, Alberta

About Chestermere

Chestermere is a thriving city of over 25,000 residents located immediately east of Calgary along the shores of Chestermere Lake. Once a quiet cottage community, Chestermere has grown rapidly into one of Alberta's fastest-developing municipalities, attracting young families with its lakeside lifestyle, newer housing stock, excellent schools, and close proximity to Calgary employment centres.

Chestermere is distinct from Calgary — it operates under its own municipal government and manages its own waste collection program, separate from the City of Calgary. This means Chestermere residents follow a different pickup schedule, use different terminology for their bins, and deal with a different collection authority. MapleBins is fully integrated with Chestermere's system.

Chestermere's Waste Collection Schedule

Chestermere's waste collection is managed through the Recollect platform — the same industry-leading waste schedule system used by the City of Calgary and hundreds of municipalities across North America. However, Chestermere's Recollect service is completely separate from Calgary's, with its own service ID, schedule logic, and collection routes.

Garbage collection in Chestermere typically runs on a regular weekly or biweekly schedule depending on your area, with recycling alternating on its own cycle. Exact pickup days vary by neighbourhood and street. Rather than trying to memorise your own schedule, MapleBins automatically pulls your Chestermere pickup dates from Recollect when you sign up and enter your address — no manual input required.

Chestermere's Three Bins — How We Handle Each One

Chestermere households receive three bins from the city. MapleBins handles all three:

One thing that trips up Chestermere newcomers from Calgary: the organics bin is called a compost bin in Chestermere, not a "green bin" or "green cart." The purpose is the same — food scraps, organics, yard waste — but the terminology differs. MapleBins handles Chestermere's compost bin exactly the same way as Calgary's green cart.
