Scheduled tree maintenance begins in Mount Royal and Buena Vista
January 2, 2026 - 10:00am
Starting Monday, January 5, 2026, crews will begin pruning trees on civic property in Mount Royal and parts of Buena Vista as part of the City's Boulevard Tree Maintenance Program. Tree maintenance in these neighbourhoods will continue until March 31, 2026. The remainder of Buena Vista will be pruned later in the year.
The Boulevard Tree Maintenance Program follows a regular pruning cycle to help preserve the health of the City's tree inventory, eliminate hazards and provide clearance from buildings, signs, streetlights and utility wires.
Tree maintenance often requires road restrictions. The City reminds pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to ensure safety is a priority by respecting the work zone and obeying all road restrictions and signage.
For more information, visit saskatoon.ca/treemaintenance.
Residents are reminded to drop off Christmas trees at the Material Recovery Centre
January 2, 2026 - 9:00am
Residents can drop off live Christmas trees for free at the Sort & Go area at the Material Recovery Centre (MRC) until January 31. The MRC is located at 42 Valley Road, near the landfill and is open daily, seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. By diverting your trees away from the landfill, they instead will be chipped and composted or used as mulch.
We would like to remind residents that they are only permitted to drop off their Christmas trees at the City-approved depot at the MRC. The previous community-based Christmas tree drop off sites are no longer available for use.
For more information about Christmas tree composting, please visit: saskatoon.ca/christmastree. Thanks putting waste in the right place.
