- The Town of Rocky Mountain House contracts Empringham Disposal to collect residential solid waste.
- Garbage collected in Rocky Mountain House is taken to Clearwater Regional Landfill.
- The curbside collection program is paid for through residential solid waste base rates charged on monthly utility invoices.
If a household produces more garbage than it can dispose of in the curbside black bin, they can take it to the Eco Centre. Fees for waste are as follows:
| Garbage | $3 per bag |
| Large items (e.g.: couches, exercise equipment, white goods) | $10 per item |
| Mattresses | $30 per item |
| Freon appliances | $30 per item |
| Regular pick-up truck or small trailer | $30 per load |
Loads larger than a half-ton box-size must go to the Regional Landfill for disposal.
Commercial Solid Waste and Recycling
The Town stopped invoicing businesses for commercial waste tonnage in November, 2020. Commercial businesses now have service and billing arrangements directly with commercial haulers.
No commercial waste will be accepted at the Rocky Mountain House Eco Centre. Town businesses are welcome to use the Eco Centre for recycling and diversion programs.
The owners/landlords of Apartment Buildings, Residential Complexes, Mobile Home Parks and multi-plexes not approved for curbside Collection Service must arrange and pay for Waste Material collection services from a private commercial waste hauler, including the payment of any tipping fees to the private commercial waste hauler.
