With the weather changing and few lawns and gardens being tended to, the City of Airdrie will soon move it's Green Cart Pick up to every other week.

"In the Summer time, we need the weekly collections so we can accommodate the grass and the yard trimmings and things like that, so we find that in the Winter time we don't have that need", says Team Lead for Airdrie Waste and Recycling, Susan Grimm.

Grimm also mentions that with the colder weather coming, there are ways to can prevent your organics from sticking to their cart.

"We always suggest to people that they try the layering technique where they put a tiny bit of newspaper in the bottom of the bin and then their food and then maybe a little more newspaper."

Grimm also says coating the inside with a simple cooking spray can help.

The Bi-Weekly pick up schedule officially starts on November 1st.
