The 8th Street Snow Storage Site, located east of Boychuk Drive is now open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m for contractor and public use.

In order to minimize the noise disruption to nearby residents, the common practice of tailgate slamming is strictly prohibited.  Excessive noise from tailgate slamming may force the City to permanently close or limit access to the site.

In addition, the City also operates three other temporary Snow Storage Sites. These three sites are available 24/7 throughout the winter months. 

  1. Wanuskewin Road (1.8 kilometres north of 71st Street) Left turns into and exiting the site are extremely dangerous due to heavy traffic flow and are not permitted.  Please follow all traffic and on-site signs for access and exiting.
  2. Central Avenue (4 kilometres north of Attridge Drive)
  3. Valley Road (west of the Saskatoon Landfill access) Tailgate slamming is strictly prohibited at this location
